Lol before you shoot your mouth off, it would help if you just took a
look at the top of the browser and be amazed by the actual title of
this thread.
I am merely answering the thread question. If you do not want answers
to such posts, maybe it would help if you ask the thread poster not to
post it in a question form.
OR better yet, post in in a restricted access forum so you can QC the
ppl visiting, reading and answering ;)

So why are you begging the question by presuming it where you know it
isn't granted?

Better still, start thinking and look up "begging the question". Then
try and understand why people demand question-beggers "put up or shut
up".

put two and two together? That's exactly what you are going to get, and

"Why don't you idiots shut the ***** up because you can't put up? "
Exactly. Seeing you basically didn't contribute anything constructive
with your posts at all other than "you're lying cos I say so". Wait.
That's the only thing you seem capable of posting.
I think its a good idea you took your own advice lol.

definition'? Are you nuts?

You get 3 description and 1 symbol recresenting infinity, yet still do
definite, specific definition.
Since you like Wiki so much, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/god
And yet I doubt you'll be satisfied with the definition from the exact
same source you are quoting ;)

Anyways according to your reasoning then it meansGod has also already
been defined, since it has 8 descriptions in http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/god

As I told you before, the term is 'definition', dictionaries provide
definitions. Your use of the term, 'description' instead of 'definition'
is just a cavil.

objections

http://209.161.33.50/dictionary/cavil
definition: a statement of the meaning of a word or word group or a sign

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/definition
The question I am asking and you are still evading is if 'God' has been
defined http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/God then where would that leave
your argument that 'God' defies definition?
"How can anyone define something that defies definition?" -- James
(Note how James takes it for granted that there IS a God - which is the
fallacy of begging the question - it just defies definition, he argues?)
James is trying to sell what is known in sophistry as an ad hoc
hypothesis, like there might be a God but you don't see it because 'God
is invisible', or 'God is not of this universe', or 'You have to believe
first, then you will see God!'
Logical fallacy of ad hoc hypothesis:
"An ad hoc hypothesis is one created to explain away facts that seem to
refute one’s theory." -- http://skepdic.com/adhoc.html
(Your theory is that there might be a God. The fact that seems to refute
your theory is that there is no such thing, it's just your imaginary
playmate, right James?)
But you have arrived at a truth, sort of, through the back door, in a
manner of speaking, in that there is no way to produce an OPERATIONAL
definition (a definition in terms of how it is detected and measured) of
something that is just your imaginary playmate, right James?

The correct term is 'definition', moron. It's a dictionary.

Wow. Is that the only thing you are good at, twisting other people's
words? If you have not realised it, let me explain the punchline to
you in detail.
Do refer to my original post:
Do stop dishonestly presuming it if you can't produce it.
"AS with all attempts to DEFINE God.
How can anyone DEFINE something that defies DEFINITION?.... One can
only DESCRIBE,
not DEFINE."
More dishonest question-begging.
You're only explaining infinity/infinite, not defining it yet (or as I
mentioned, putting an absolute value to it). By definition (sic) to
define is to to "fix or lay down DEFINITELY; specify DISTINCTLY:".
Which caNNOT be done with infinity as it cannot be given an absolute,
definite or distinct value.
Why don't you idiots shut the ***** up because you can't put up?
The problem is, you took so many posts to even getting to the stage of
differentiating between infinity/infinite, its very VERY
understandable why you failed to catch this.
The problem is that you are babbling about something you are ignorant
about.
Congradulations on wasting so many post and YET still fail to address
the definition. And Kudos on repeatedly succeeding in only DESCRIBING
it though, which only reinforces my point.
Congratulations on being an in-your-face jerk.

You are mistaken, there is no God in evidence to defy anything, and

Your irrelevant objection, "Check the name of the thread, IIR it says
"god", not "diety" is the cavil (the irrelevant objection).
You were shown definitions for 'god', 'God', and 'deity' (all very
closely related). So your argument, 'God defies definition' is debunked.
You are mistaken, there is no God in evidence to defy anything, and
'God' definitely does not defy definition.

Yes, it might refute monotheism but would it refute polytheism?

That's called infinite recursion, which would leave "God" absolutely
incapable of creating anything but copies of itself, therefore, if
such a god existed, nothing else would.
Thanks for refuting Christianity in five words.
