Well, this is all rather silly, I agree.
I could rephrase by simply saying that for a significant proportion of the people asking me this question, they cannot adequately define their own word.
I could assume that the person does understand their own question, and knows some basic philosophy, and agrees with the standard definition... but statistically, I'd be assuming wrong at least some of the time.
Thanks Parker
Listen to any theist on this forum try to define God; indeed, it's word salad itself.
