26. Alas, that is not how it works. The "default" position, if you define unicorns,...
gods, or anything else, could just as easily be argued that since it has a name, it could, and most likely does, exist somewhere. Else how would we know it's name and description?

Now, that existence may be in someone's imagination, but you can't just up and say the burden is to prove it exists in our reality. How do you set up a truth table or Venn diagrams to assess the "truth" of what is in the imagination? And don't slither out by saying the imagination has no validity-- smarter people than us have asked about that, and now you may Google "epistomology" to your heart's delight. I do not have the credentials to teach even an introductory course in it.

To step further into reality, since I have no interest in proving my concept of God to you or converting you to my understanding, I have no need or obligation whatsoever to prove to you my understanding of God-- it's simply none of your business unless you ask me politely to explain it because you are curious.
