If this is somehow not logical someone explain why this is not the case.
Yes, you've termed it god (because you're attempting to be evasive). The definition is incredibly permissive. Belief in leprechauns, unicorns, magic beans etc are all belief in god by this definition, they are equivalent. So let's run with the equivalnece you've created. Would this imply that a belief in god is a belief in leprechauns, unicorns, and magic beans? Would this imply that a belief in objective reality would require a belief in leprechauns, unicorns, or magic beans? Sure does, sure would, still garbage. Thats the trouble you run into when you make your definition "everything", and why "everything" claims are so easily dismissed. Still waiting to see that argument. What's the deal, were you confused or lying?
