However, for the sake of argument and just to find out where you're going with this next, I'll accept that definition so we can move forward.
Alright, understood. I used the word "concept" so it isn't limited solely to God. I'm not going anywhere with this, really. My argument before was made based on a false assumption of what the argument was. Moreover, I don't really see a point to combat such a view - carrying on would be an exercise in futility and hindered progress. If I saw any inherent illogic in your assertion, I would call you out on it, but so far, it's pretty contingent with your perceptions of reality, albeit confusing (through no fault of your own, my own shortcomings are more to blame).

It takes integrity to own up like you have, here. I deeply appreciate that, and have now completely readjusted my impression of you. I think our conversations could really open each other's eyes to some things. I look forward to less combative dialogue.
Good shit.
