And brilliant wit, well done! We are not talking about definitions, but a primary attribute. Shall we add straw man or would I be ‘bleating’.

Wrong

Wrong again, I don’t mention materialism its another straw man.

Go ahead knock your straw man down

The lady (or gentleman) protests too much me thinks.

As if using the word 'bleats' to replace the word 'presents', has any bearing on the truth value of said proposition.

You mean when you presented that gods primary attribute was that of being a god (diety). Yep that was a winner and cleared up all the mystery. We all now know what a god is and his positively identified status in reality.

I said in posts #3, #8 and #12 that wyou were begging the question. Because you were using God (the diety in xtianity) to provide a primary attribute of God.

See post #3. I didn’t expect to have to repeat myself once I called out why the first time and you didn’t challenge it, but if you are going to have selective amnesia perhaps I should.

You have had it

As previously stated it is you who have no basis for your rejoinder yet you continue this silly line of no case to answer because “god=god, so there” and projecting your wearisome and poorly constructed arguments back onto me does not add force to your case.

If you want to argue FOR Theism, just identify the primary attribute of the Christian god, ie positively describe his nature. His primary attribute should be consistent with his secondary and relational attributes. I have already explained the argument to you and informed you why I don’t think your rejoinders hit the mark.
