Are we now at the stage where god is an abstract concept? I'm never going to argue with that. It usually ends up that way with this kind of pseudo-science philosophy.
The thing is, abstract concepts have no agency. At least, it's never been demonstrated that they do. They are just our interpretations of reality that only literally exist within physical configurations, such as in our brains or on paper. In that way, God is right where it belongs, in the brain of the believer, or in their books.
Some abstract concepts relate to things that literally exist, and some don't. So the theist's work is still ahead of them to prove it's the former in god's case.
God is Odin of course, so Steve has fallen into our cunning trap here.
