In fact, each believer seems to have his own personal definition which vary quite a bit. When it comes to concepts which identify actually existing concretes, we don't find this happening. The definition of a rock, a tree, a bridge, a snow cone, or a Rhinoceros are pretty much universal. But, we do find this variation in "definitions" of imaginary things.(March 1, 2020 at 9:47 pm)Rahn127 Wrote: The word "god" is an unknown value that describes nothing until it has been shown to exist.
It's as meaningless a word as the word "flerb"
What's a flerb you may ask ?
It's an infinitely long zhanjk and you have no idea what a zhanjk is.
A god isn't powerful until you can show that it exists. Until then, it has ZERO power.
Things that don't exist, can't do anything. They have zero power.
Asserting that a god creates all the natural laws that allows for a snowflake to exist is meaningless until you show that the god you claim exists, actually exists.
When I can replace the word god with flerb in your sentence and it still makes as much sense as when you first typed it, that's when you know that you really have no real definition for a god.
Flerb creates all the natural laws that allows for a snowflake to exist.
There are several definitions for the word God in western monotheism.
Actus purus,
the Ground of Being,
the Form of the Good,
and others.
I'm not saying you ought to believe in any of these, but it is not true to say that the word God has no definition. Each term has a long history and many traditional arguments for its existence, and to dismiss one as meaningless would require you to know what the term means. Your post only shows that you don't know anything about the subject.
