Nice self-nuke, atheist. What do you do for an encore? -- I have defined no god. And when I do need to define some god for the purposes of discussing its nature with atheists I always define the supposed some god in the very same concrete and arbitrary terms, without variation: God = Metaphysical X Watching you idiot atheists witlessly pinning your own lunatic assumptions and irrational perceptions onto it then attempting to argue against your very own deranged Frankenstein-like creation with utterly b0rked illogic is a never-ending source of great hilarity.
