Personal relationships with deities

Jenny: Most people define god as being outside our reality to account for the fact that it's nowhere to be found. Can you define "god" in a way that I can distinguish from nothing or a figment of people's imagination?

It's a bad analogy to compare atheism to the belief the earth is flat, because atheism isn't by default a belief. It's a lack of belief. I explain this in detail on my website here If anything it should be compared to people who wouldn't commit to saying the earth was flat, nor that it was anything else, and were awaiting further evidence.

Some atheists choose to make their own claims of positive belief or knowledge, but it's not a requirement.

Jenny's sister: I'm not sure how much was sarcasm, what are you here to save us from? Or was that banter?
