The assertion that God=deity by itself is meaningless, unless you give some definition to the word deity we're right back where we started and you've imparted no information.

DOCTOR: "If the Thraskin puts his fingers in his ears, it is polite to shout!" That's an old venusian proverb.

JO: What does plinge mean?
DOCTOR: Oh, for heaven's sake, Jo. I've just told you - it means Thraskin.
