The thing is: I neither need an ontological proof for God nor do I need a formal proof that there is no God. My answer is: "I don't know". It is a subjective answer. I am not saying, "Nobody knows, or 'it can't be known'. You're satisfied with the logic presented to you and you find it conclusive and exhaustive. I'm satisfied that NONE of the arguments for or against are conclusive and exhaustive. That is me speaking for me. I'm not speaking for you or anybody else. == We're GENERALLY on the same team. Fight a fundamentalist Christian somewhere. You'll get nowhere with me. I'm not kidding myself: You're using an artificially constructed glossary limiting definitions of terms to win a debate. It's an old game. == Hair-splitting like this is exactly the kind of thing that destroys potentially useful movements. Try forcing a dedicated moderate to an extremist position and you find yourself with fewer and fewer numbers. == Communication is people talking about something. You're referring to debate. Debate is a subset of communication. "Want a beer?" Do I answer something about the illogic of desire or something? No, I get a beer or I say I'm busy. That's communication. That's conversation. I'm not misusing words. I'm just not in the mood for a debate. ===
