You are attempting to frame this debate through a "perception is reality" argument. What I am trying (and apparently failing) to point out is that this argument only applies to the spiritual, and inherently variable aspect of the discussion.

God is many things to many people, and He is nothing to the atheists among us - Perception.
1+1=2 regardless of who you ask - Truth.

Ah... so you are arguing that the universal acceptance of a truth-claim validates its authenticity while a truth-claim that does not enjoy universal acceptance must therefore be false?

Have you tried discussing Quantum Mechanics with a Papua New Guinean tribe? 😀

Actually, I am arguing that truth does not need universal acceptance (nor will it receive anywhere near) to remain valid. In actuality, religious faith enjoys far wider acceptance than such trivial matters as "Quantum Mechanics"... such simplicity doesn't make it "truth".

So why do you think a truth-claim pertaining to God cannot be valid?
