It's a heretical meme, disregard.

Again, not asking you. That's cool that you believe the first premise, even if you're autistic about labelling it something for the sake of shorthand, but I'm wondering about alternatives.

Incidentally, any concept is less complex than no concept. Saying "there's a magic metaphysical black hole there and we never talk about it" raises considerably more problems than "there's a magic metaphysical black hole there and we label it God", even with your bitching about unsupported interpretation.

>There is no justifiable reason whatsoever to call a hypothetical first cause "god"
I'll reference this one more time, because you're not the only autist in this discussion, I am one too:

Read this for an example of what I'm talking about. It's a definition of God with none of the emotional baggage of Richard Dawkins's childhood. I'm not saying it's conclusive, I'm saying it's better than stubborn assertions to the contrary. It's something. Strict atheism must have something too, what is it?
