And you're made out of flesh. Plenty of other things I'm sure. Would anyone dispute these?
People can't agree the first thing about God. Not even what he's made of. Nothing.
I understand that. My point was like of an agreement because of something that is speculation does not mean we cannot have meaningful discussion. I use your proclivity toward solipsism as an example. We can speculate on what it might be and if its possible, not agreeing fully, but still have meaningful discussion about the outworkings.
So I don't think there is anything wrong in your discussions when you ask for a definition or agreement on "God" because it would depend solely on the context of the discussion. Are we discussing origin, morality, etc. I was just pointing out that meaningful discussion can still ensue without an objective definition
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
