Carry on...
Fr0d0, you completely missed the point. Conceding the hypothetical that there is something does not mean conceding a "Christian something". You need to actually prove that, and that's what Dotard is getting at. If we pretend to accept that TAG is true and there is a God, how do we know it's Christian?
And I think you missed the point your loveliness... The hypothesis specifically invokes the Christian definition and no other.. this is all JP was proposing, and not a generic nondescript 'god' of the countless others that are described. I never bothered to follow the TAG train but wasn't that addressing the Christian God as well (I seem to remember JP saying that a few times).
So what Dotard is wanting to accept hypothetically is specifically the Christian concept of God, if he's taking JP's presentaion. This much is clear.
