Anyone have other views regarding this issue?
in your god view (and subsequent posts) you seem to imply that god as you perceive him is clearly defined. what are you basing this on? i am not familiar with the whole of the bible, so i wonder if the bible clearly defines god? for example, does the bible explicitly state that god is omniscient, omnipotent, eternal, etc? if so, does the bible also make it clear how these attributes are themselves defined?
also, within your god view, do you take a strictly literal interpretation of the bible?
EDIT: one reason i ask about the definitions is because you cited the dictionary several times, rather than the bible, which led me to ask why you were out-sourcing.
