It's amazing to me that people can be so terrified by some "trap" for their gods that they refuse to speak or even acknowledge their own views on import and meaning, even when those views are completely obvious to anyone involved...and even when those views are shared by their questioner.

I guess gods a real fuckup. As long as you don't say what you wrongthink he can't tell the difference between you and a blasphemous heathen bound right for hell.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I think you let slip that you're a great guy - and i bet in real life you are !!!!   (I mean that - thats not a joke, or banter or trolling - i really think that !!!).  In another life - we could be drinking buddies haha ;-)
How could you possibly deny it if you wanted to?

Either there are facts about me that make me great, or greatness is whatever comes out of my wherever.

I dont really know if the banter maketh man or if man maketh banter ???

That's actually a good version of precisely the question that has caused a meltdown.

Are we talking about something, or is the talking the something?

It doesn’t matter…to that question…whether it’s us or a god talking, as the outcome is the same regardless.
