So if I surmise what a perfect being would be and it is different to your concept, how would we establish who is right?

Different people have different views about what is beneficial to society, don't they? Is it possible to get a unanimous agreement on what sort of God is required?

God is a term that lacks definition. yet we hold everybody accountable to God. so we should try to define a useful meaning to it

Is it worth going to the bother if, after you've defined it, you are not going to believe in it?

to find the common meaning of it is worthwhile. God in the sense of a unifying principle that can be agreed upon .

perhaps it is a bit time consuming. there's only so many hours in a day. Seeing that there are many Americans who would simply shrug it off. Much of life is circumstance and plight. and people often fall into a grind of going through the motions everyday.

thanks for the compliment.
