Well, then - what are you waiting for? If it's so easy, then why do you keep dodging? Is it because you'd rather not have to clearly state your position, so that later, when your stupid childish "arguments" get a**-raped, you can just say - "Oh, no - that's not what god is!"
Yeah - we've heard it all before. From people way smarter and more experienced at debating than you. That's how religion has survived so far, because if your beliefs are based on fantasy and you don't feel you need to provide evidence for your claims, you can - and do - just keep making sh*t up, until your opponent gets bored and gives up, and you can announce yourself a victor.

Jesus checks in -- God still undefined after 8 pages - Jesus checks out and goes to the gym.

I was always wondering why those depictions of Jesus had such great abs
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Nobody ever agreed on a definition of what morality is and people disagree on it's details. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist? And does believing it's existence require a detailed definition of what it is?

Depends on the individual we're referring to.

Yeah, morality is an abstract concept. It doesn't literally exist.
This kind of equivocation gets drawn quite frequently. Numbers are real! The laws of logic are real!
No, they're not. If God is only as real as these, then he's just a concept.
