Q: do you, Christian, claim that God exists, rather than you believe that he exists?

Bingo! You can't.

That god is a pointless duplication.

The Christian tradition has both of course.

I like your idea. I make use more of God in everything in my awe and wouldn't like to lose that. It'd be a huge loss for me.

And if God possibly could be more, then he has to be it all to be completely God.
