God is a word and mental image that some people use to give themselves an impression of understanding the unknown.
How can you understand the unknown?
I said "an impression of understanding the unknown." An impression is not necessarily an understanding of the unknown.
[I keep editing this]
If you have an impression of understanding the unknown it isn't unknown. The word you are thinking of is wrong. For example, you have the impression of understanding what a god or God is. It isn't that God is unknown, it's that you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
But in a sense you are at least partly right. God is a word and mental image that some people use in worship. Just because a god or God doesn't exist doesn't mean it isn't a god or God and it doesn't exist as such. Just because something doesn't exist doesn't mean it's unknown. Just because something is misunderstood doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Ignorance, for example, is a god or God. Just one of the countless examples.
No, because you are too arrogant even for yourself.
Surely you mean "The definition".![]()
You neither know nor care about mine.
Skeptics are not a homogenous bloc of unvarying opinion.
I didn't say your definition was wrong. I observed that you were wrong about how language works.
You have massively overestimated how much of a shit I give about the definitions used by someone who has demonstrated his abject lack of understanding of what a definition even is.
Blow it out your patootie.I vaguely remember and old scifi story about a legend about counting all the names of god.
At the end when the guy does it the universe starts to wink out.
Names of gods, steve_bank, not names of god.
Followers of the Prince Of Peace.....Thw majority of the time, it's the theists who are way more hostile and pretentious than the atheists.

And the more arrogant I appear the more you have to remind me of it? Not a good strategy, though, is it, Einstein. I think you had the right idea ignoring me all that time. What's the matter, did you finally get bored bitching about your god Politics, or are you still upset that the poisoning of our air, water, land, food, seeds, medicine, children and minds isn't enough for science because those mean ol' Christians want to stop them?
Ideologues. Crazy.

Any definition! Yours, mine, Alexander or Constantine the Great - what's the difference?! You don't get it. You missed the part where I suggested you set aside the dumb fake ideological fixation? When you define the fucking thing you can't get it wrong - until you say the fucking thing you're defining can't exist in the first place. And I have to tell the men of science THAT?!
Pathetic.
You neither know nor care about mine.
I don't have to! It isn't necessary.
Skeptics are not a homogenous bloc of unvarying opinion.
Skeptics are idiots just like everyone else.
I didn't say your definition was wrong. I observed that you were wrong about how language works.
Which contextually would have what result on the matter?

Yeah. I don't think so.
Way too harsh.
Lol no you aren't. You aren't skeptical about the misinformation you blindly believe. Also PSA, having knee-jerk reactions to things like vaccines or scary sounding chemicals, or autism, or trans people, isn't skepticism. That's being a reactionary.I'm skeptical about everythingWay too harsh.
Eh, I just tend not to care about the feelings of someone who considers skepticism as "stupidity" when skepticism is part of the scientific process and has also saved countless lives (skepticism is also, in fact, one of the things that keeps societies from turning into totalitarian hellholes). However maybe DLH will be a victim of their own stupidity at some point.
Oh you know what's also funny? You claim you're skeptical of everything, but that skeptics are idiots. So by your own admission you're a skeptic as well as an idiot. Get fucked, dumbass.
Stupid is repeatedly banging your head against a wall on forums where nobody takes anything you say seriously.

No, SB, stupidity is going to a forum where a crowd of stupid people congratulate and encourage your stupidity.

You said what I said a different way.
No one forces you to come here, so by your own words you are stupid by cumming here for ...

An old saying, 'open mouth insert foot'.
