Good point. Well made. Of course if you tried such a tactic with anything you can actually point to it wouldn't work because we would have more than your deceitful words to go on. It is only with something as nebulously defined as god that anyone attempts such a tactic. Of course the reason they do so is their desperation to preserve both the god they grew up with and the capacity for reason which they would like to think makes them a peer of the realm. Unfortunately for our friend here he tries to salvage too much of god on a literal level to pull it off. He should really take notes on how Jacob manages this. It can be done.
