That's easily the silliest thing I've heard all week. Gratz.
Subjective. Just like most of your other statements. It applies to you and anybody else you can convince to follow your said belief. Aside from that, there's really no value.

The whole 'My word use is litteral' is going to take some sentence restructuring.
Since, in general parlance, your image is of a Rhinoceros and not the afore mentioned horned equine.
Right, but both are "unicorns." One is conceptual (presumably) and one is not. If you originally state equine, then we can assume it is the former. If you don't specify, then it's open to interpretation.

So, once again, you can distinguish the difference between the existence of a concept and the existence of the object of that concept. Having the concept of a flying horse doens't imply the existence of such. Same goes for deities.
It implies the existence of it conceptually. I thought we already went through this. If you suggest it exists naturally, then that's a whole different category. If you say it exists supernaturally, that's also another category. More than likely, we would use different means for identifying and assessing each based on the category it falls under. If you don't think that's fair, then feel free to disagree. If not, then how would you suggest we assess evidence for anything categorized as being supernatural?
