The Hebrew word for god is el, and it means anything that is considered mighty or is venerated. The Bible refers to Jehovah, Jesus, Satan, the angels, men such as Moses, the judges of Israel, false gods such as Dagon, Molech, Baal, Ashtoreth, Tammuz and others as gods, as well as idols, sticks, stones . . . anything can be a god.
My definition, as well as most dictionaries are in agreement with the Bible on what a god / goddess is.
Seems kind of pointless to argue about it, doesn't it? A myth can be a god. A god can exist solely upon the religious veneration of anyone. Anything can be a god.

So pick a bible and a god, state your absolute claim now and get a refund later. You'll love it.
So sad to see your sorry ass leave the building already since I just love to see you beat up yourself with illogic. Shit happens.

I thought that was a Ghlieb? Of course not. Not a Ghileb and not a Gila monster. Garglemoth it is. But I better warn you up front that a garglemoth has attributes you cannot even begin to understand. And even that you cannot understand.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

When I read these post not only am I submerging myself in complete ignorance and terrible attempts at humor, but I I just have a great deal of frustration and am so annoyed that no one seems to bother Actually trying to understand the word. Y'All rather try to prove you're better than the world by being "freethinkers". Sorry kids but you're not. No worries God loves us all the same.

Might I suggest you point out the apparent flaws in our reasoning rather than have a complain and a moan?

By all means, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Those who believe in God probably have no better way to prove God's existence than those who don't believe in God.
There are things you just know and there isn't any good way to explain it (this applies to both sides).

I have no idea how can anyone can 'just know' - does anyone ever know they can? How? If they don't know how they know then why do they believe they 'know' as opposed to just believe/disbelieve? This is what I wonder.
