The moron still hasn't been able to explain why anybody should have
these ideas about what is merely one of the beliefs of somebody else's
religion.
Does he have ideas about Zeus?
He also hasn't been able to explain why if somebody has ideas about
anything, why they should call them "God".
Especially when the word carries all sorts of un-necessary baggage
that gets in the way of communication.
Which is probably why he does it.
Because it is easier to use words that carry the exact meaning, that
don't cause wasted time and effort ferreting out what he really means
after it becomes obvious the is talking past his audience.
