You realize Jews would take issue with you. Christians and Jews don't have the same views on the Old Testament God.

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.
Ah no, considering I know what the TAG argument actually is. TAG argues for mind to exists the created the logical absolutes. That says absolutely nothing about the Christian God. JP tries to say it does, but he failed every single time to prove it.
Either way, Dotard's post specifically says he's conceding the hypthetical "something" not the hypethetical "Christian something". He's trying to get JP to prove this something has the Christian properties of god.
