It always amazes me that theists want people to believe in *some* higher power, but often don't seem to care about the specific properties that are believed in.
As long as the term 'God' is used and it is 'higher', then they can accept the belief as legit. Why? Well, I guess it's because they accept that nobody knows.
It's sort of like my wanting everyone to believe in something that can't be detected and I don't care what properties are assigned to it. I just want people to believe in it and call it by the same name I do.
You may believe there is only one God. Someone else may believe there is only one God. But if you disagree what the characteristics are of that 'one God', then you believe in *different* Gods and at most one of you is correct in your belief.
It’s called argument by assertion: I am right because I am right, not because what is meant by being right is clear and is demonstrably applicable to what I say.
God don’t need to be able to exist, he just does because Christians say so. That kind of humility is the true miracle of Christianity.
