Except when the mood takes you, or you aren't defending atheism.
Have no idea what this vague reference is about, but keep dreaming. From what I've seen from you here I suspect that when we don't address the god subject, we actually might have some values in common. Maybe we should focus more on that 'cause this illogic isn't quite my department.

Don't rush now. I'm not there yet.

To summarize our interesting conversation, I've condensed it metaphorically for you:

Recipe for your very own religion about god X:

1. Publicly announce that you officially attribute X to all that is observable. You have a blog? Will do! Have none? Will do too!

2. Now paste all attributes to X. You don't need a GUI for this. You can do this really virtual...in your head.

You're done, you now have a complete religion. Whenever you think you miss something, just go back to step 2 and paste in whatever you feel like. You need to delete attributes? Fine too.
