Tentatively Christian; looking for a reasonable discussion

I'm saying "The definition of God as non-contingent existed long before the arguments. Therefore the definition of God was not invented to support these arguments."

What is a "god"
I have heard a lot of contradictory explanations so what is your take.
Quote:How in the world does the argument from tradition fallacy come into play here? I'm not saying the definition of God is true.

Again which one?

Is yours the not liking gays god? or the I am too lazy to learn science therefore the answer to all the hard questions is god god?

Quote: I don't think it even matters. You could replace God is any other word you prefer.

I replace the word god with the word non-existent.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
