>>851>Then God is as real as spooks.If you want to put it that way, sure.
> Which means he isn't fucking real, just the concept of God is real.You're almost getting it. It was always a concept.
I'll try a few examples.
Lets say you're a kid that just figured out Santa Clause isn't a guy on a magic sled. But it's just your dad in a costume.
You're reaction could be "Santa isn't real". But that isn't really true. Santa was always real, it was always just adults pretending for their children. You just figured out that you did not know what the real Santa is.
I'm going to say that magicians are real and that magic is too. But the magic that is real is based on slight of hand, misdirection of attention and illusions. Fake magic is the supernatural stuff, because that is not real. The magicians that put on a show to amuse people, those are real.
What I'm getting at here is : use words to describe the things that actually exist. Don't allocate all the words to impossible things, and then proceed to describe the actually existing things as "not real".
