Then you're playing Humpty-Dumpty games with words. You know very well
that “God” has established meanings entirely different from “humanity”,
and those meanings played a part in your choice of that word.

I maintain that you can't consistently make a declaration in favour of
human unity and unfounded religious assertions.

This is white noise.
