And lets not get into any "God is love" bullshit because that just demeans everyone. God is God for the sake of this conversation.

Bold mine. Of course you do, and the extent that you and others believe your action/practice is reality will depend on how convincing you are. Again, by you, I have serious doubts.

Somethings that can be imagined can be turned into reality, some can't. My point is that all imagination is not necessarily fantasy. However, if you want to define it as fantasy imagine then no, the imagined can't become reality.

Are we through?

So hang on, the reality of something depends on how convincing I am? No. We are certainly not through.
Explain yourself.

EDIT: My mistake. I got confused and thought you were the OP arguing the original point. Long day, didn't sleep last night.
