The Million Dollar Question

No that's not how it works.

Here is what you have just said in essence.

If you can't adequately describe what a god is, we should believe in it.

This is a false line of reasoning based on the assumption that non-belief has to include total knowledge of the thing you don't believe in.

That is not what I am saying at all. I am saying that if you cannot define what a god is then you cannot claim to lack a belief in it. If I do not know what a “Zaboom” is then I cannot say I have never seen one because it could be a synonym for something that I have seen. If you cannot define the term god then you cannot say you lack a belief in gods.

Look there's a Gargle Snark! you have to believe it exists Waldorf because you don't know all of its properties.

Precisely! I cannot claim to lack a belief in Gargle Snark because it may be just another word for something that I do believe in.

At best you could claim to be some form of weak agnostic because you do not know what the term god means and you may actually believe in the existence of one and just not know it.

Again no.

Theists inability to totally define a god allows them to constantly move the goal posts so they can continue with their delusions.

It is a ploy to not present us with a solid thing that we can disprove instead, you shuffle the definition around, make excuses and then say that's metaphorical when the evidence is too much.

I am not an atheist because your theism lacks the ability to define god , I am an atheist because the whole concept is laughably childlike and stupid.
