You can discuss anything you like. Your arguments can be solely about anything you like. If, however, these are meant to be indicative of gods, whatever you mean by that..........
That’s you seem to be under the impression that my worldview, and a belief in god are two beliefs that can be separated.
Quote:I can express all the reasons why I believe in God, without ever mentioning the word God, just like it’s possible for you to outline perhapsYes, you can clearly be an ineffective communicator.
the entirety of your worldview, like materialism, physicalism, nihilism, etc.. with ever having to use the word atheism or explicitly stating you don’t believe in God.
You're not talking to someone who believes that you're incapable of ineffective communication..you're talking to someone who doesn't believe in gods.

utility, it would be easier just to stick to the argument being made, than having to explain the relationship between it and why I’m a theist.
You already have my comments on the things you mentioned..my answer is the same in a universe with or without gods. You are engaging in pure equivocation. You may use those terms interchangeably, but you lose accuracy and specificity in doing so...and that's making you an ineffective communicator of whatever it is you're trying to say.
When are we going to get to the challenging statements that require challenging responses? Where is the sophisticated theology I've been hearing about?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
