A pantheistic argument.

[Edwardo Piet]

You definde god just now as being the universe, and I explained to you why that is silly.

As I have said, I'm not justifying it logically.

I'm not saying that it is logically sound. I explained and re-explained why I'm doing it. I'm making the argument to demonstrate how changing the label doesn't change the belief and I'm doing that because some people, at least in my experience, think that changing the label changes the belief.

Just leave the universe as being a gigantic thing.

I have. I never re-defined the universe as "god", I defined "god" as the already predefined definition of "the universe".

You already accept this planet as a thing and the sun as a thing, why would something even bigger be more than a thing?

I'm not suggesting that there is anything more than the universe... see above.

Sorry, got to do a little better than trying to retrofit a word rooted in mythology to suit your own personal fantasy.

If I'm defining "god" as "the universe" then the way I'm using the word "god" isn't mythological and... what personal fantasy?

But then lets indulge in your new age woo for a second,

What new age woo?

ok the universe is a god,

I never said that.

FYI I don't have to think the universe is a god

Once again, I never said that.

I know the universe exists, so I don't have to have any "faith" in it anymore than you pray to gravity.

I never said that you had to...

Otherwise gravity is a god too and therefor you can give it invisible balls and pray to it too.

I never said that the universe is a god so that doesn't apply...
