Both of you assume that there is one universal definition of the concept
of "god" and therefore my definition must be the same as yours. well,
that's wrong. read my replies to BCS.
I can define what god is in my POV anyway I want, or just not define it
at all and remove it from my vocabulary. Also, The Christian definition
of the concept is indeed very different from a Jewish one. So even if
the above applies to a specific definition, it does not apply to all
definitions.
