Tautology at its finest.

That's not true. 5000 years ago, the Jews defined God as a spirit who is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, perfectly good, and the creator of all things. Almost a 1000 years ago, Anselm defined God as "the greatest conceivable being". You seem to be employing some kind of verificationism in your reasoning. That philosophy has been dismissed for over half a century as inadequate. We can have a description of God independent of any sort of argument or inductive reasoning.

You don't discuss. You assert. And you can't back any of them up except in your own little mind. Someone would have to be seriously addled to to be led to a religion by you.
LOL. You are certainly not worth continuing with. Have a good day.
