Replying to Avatar Kevin's Bacon

No real meaning to you, I assert, but meaning to some others. Perhaps you simply fail to understand the meaning of the concept in other people's minds, in addition to finding it contradictory to your metaphysics and view of the universe. A falsehood or hypothetical can be conceptualized and have real meaning, while still being contradictory or invalid. Perhaps you have mistaken such a contradiction as one inherent to the concept itself, via intrinsic interpretation of concepts, when in reality your conceptualization simply has not grasped the actual concept in the mind of your fellow philosopher.

This is not to say that interpretations of God are never used as a kind of anti-concept to stifle intellectual engagement and rational self interest. Fallacious conceptualizations of gods are used for that all the time. Like the anti-concept of the benevolent state or the freedom of democracy. It is evil, and I agree wholeheartedly on that.
