What an absurd argument. Can you show me an example?

Speaking about the Christian God: God can be and is defined; God can be known; All of God can't be known: these are important distinctions often toyed around with for weak effect.

The attributes of God are logically defensible, as past discussions on this forum have proven.

God doesn't exist just 'in the known world', so we shouldn't be surprised that descriptions of him include the metaphysical.
