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

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.

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.
