Thank you.
No need to thank me. I tend to view philosophers much like Richard Feynman.
"We can't define anything precisely. If we attempt to, we get into that paralysis of thought that comes to philosophers… one saying to the other: "you don't know what you are talking about!". The second one says: "what do you mean by talking? What do you mean by you? What do you mean by know?" - Richard Feynman
No offense intended, but every time I meet someone who claims to be a philosopher I never hear anything but this kind of gibberish coming from them. Like Feynman points out, they end up getting lost in arguments over semantics to such an absurd degree that it truly becomes paralysis of thought.
I have no interest in going there. I read over the rest of your post, and as far as I can see that's precisely where you're headed.
So thanks, but no thanks. I'm not interested in getting into endless fruitless arguments over semantics. It's just not my cup of tea.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
