It would help immensely if you were to provide a definition of just what
you mean by the word "God", as well as define any problematic terms used in
that definition, and assert your intention to abide by those definitions for
the duration of any discussion relative to the non-existence of "God". If
you, for example, maintain that "God" is "omniscient", you are expected to
define "omniscient" as you are using it. After all, there is nothing more
pathetic than to see a theist assert that "God has property X", and as soon
as it is demonstrated that "property X" is incoherent or self-contradictory,
tell us that he was using the term "property X" in an entirely different
manner than the one analyzed and found wanting.
