I wouldn't be able to disprove it, but it would mean the word "God" is completely meanignless. So if that's what we're calling God now, then no, I can't disprove "God". But most people (including myself) are interested in the meaningful and discernable interpretations of God. |
You think that the idea of a god's relationship with a person manifesting as a conscience isn't meaningful?
You seem to confuse the "purpose" of a god with the "manifestation" of it. If a god manifested as a pencil, that wouldn't prevent such a god from being all-powerful. You seem to be seeking justification for considering "a relationship with god" to mean "speaking with god in your head" or "accepting that god is real", but there's no reason to make that assumption.
The problem I'm seeing is that you're arguing against "God" without ever having defined it. And no, "the bible does" isn't a valid response, because the bible never actually addresses the nature of the god (to be clear, I don't mean "nature" as in "attitude", I mean it as in "what the god is made of and how it interacts with the world normally").
