"I think God is the entire fabric of existence..."

Little Hawk. I have no problem with God existing if you define it like that. But I really don't think that says anything, other than that you define God that way.

I could say "God is my banjo" and all I've done is make a statement about my arbitrary and idiosyncratic definition of the word "god." Not sure that does much.

Sure, if god is my banjo, then I recant my atheism.

If, on the other hand, god is some being with a consciousness separate from human consciousness, a being who thinks, feels, cares and does stuff that affects us, then I stand by my atheism.
