Clearly the slug thing is causing some friction.
So if I just replace it for now with an unknown entity, and all we know about it is:
1) It was responsible for the creation of everything else
2) It is not dependent on the creation
3) It exists continually/indefinitely
Is this enough? Would any theist sign off in this being "a god"? Obviously not any particular God, I'm trying to discover the entry requirements.
If this is not enough, what is missing?
If a theist doesn't know what the difference between a god and a non-God is, how can their belief make any sense?
I don't want to hear vague, meaningless statements like "It's the greatest of all things". That doesn't tell me anything. Great in what way? According to who?
