Liz, Bruno and John, Liz is spot on here. Almost all of the interminable arguments about God are simply because different unstated definitions are being used.
God is a matter of definition not of empirical discovery. The only rational definition of God (if anyone needs one) is the universe itself, because that guarantees that God exists, and then the attributes of God become simply matters for science to discover, thus ending most of the fruitless arguments. And as anyone who knows basic science realizes, this definition of God is infinitely more rich and interesting than the old Biblical God which is simply a story from the childhood of mankind that should have been added to the corpus of myths and fairy tales long ago. Certainly to believe in the Biblical God is a mass delusion and indicative of serious psychological problems ... Belief in the Biblical God should be recognized in the DSM as a psychological disorder and should be treated as other psychological disorders are....
