Clearly, they don't. I don't.

The evidence suggests that everyone "knows what it is" because it exists only in their imagination. As soon as any actual, meaningful words are used to describe it, it contradicts with another theist's version. So either there's a God for each person, or else they don't know God well at all. Or more likely, it's all in their head.

No one has yet told me how I can distinguish between a god and an arbitrarily powerful non-God.

We know Q from Start trek isn't a god yet he displayed all the characteristics of a god. A god seems to be a thing that exists "just over there" constantly just out of reach.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
