Good for you.

Let's make the paradigm shift a little easier. If you think God does not exist
and there are many people who insist that God exists, you might not be
talking about the same thing.

So you just say God as understood by you does not exist. But you cannot say
that God as understood by them does not exist.

To do that, you need to agree with them. Got it?
You need to agree with Christians about what God is.

Sure, they say God is this, God is that, and even insist that they mean it
literally. But they clearly are not talking about God as understood by you,
do they?

So we need to talk about what God is before we argue about whether God exists or not.

What is God?
