I agree to an extent Tillichs statement is weird, but also illogical and bankrupt. If "God is so great it precludes his existence" means anything, it means God does not exist. Thus it is self refuting. It seems like yet another form of words to describe something that does not exist.
Thus we are back at the same place, unless theists sit down and agree what defines god we are arguing over "vapourware".
