Right, so instead of even attempting to grasp my point (fnarr fnarr) you handwaved it away. Classy.
Ok, swap out Star Wars for some other work of fiction of which you're aware, and Darth Vader for any character from it you wish. Are you still saying that this character and the fictional Universe in which it resides must exist a priori in order to have an opinion on it?

It's not me that needs help with definitions of basic words, thank you. You say you don't agree with it but you don't say why. Since one is not a mindreader, could you expand on this please?

But there is a lot more wrong about it because Christianity is also taking the word Christian one -ity to far.

He further is all warped about this "perfect conscious understanding being, or mind, existing of itself from eternity, was the cause of all other things." None of that of that is correct and clearly is not part of anything that I hold to be true.
I know a lot of theists who would be prepared to argue with you on thiese points, but as far as I'm concerned from an atheist's perspective, none of you have ever demonstrated any truth value of them.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
