can god have a father?

However, there is absolutely no point in discussing whether the concept of "God" is incompatible with the concept of "having a father" as neither concept is well defined enough to make conclusions about their compatibility.

While neither concept may be perfectly defined I don't see why we cannot make conclusions based on common-sense notions.

Your continual requests (this thread and elsewhere) for exact and perfect definitions misses the point - reality is always greater than our language for it (think moon vs. hand-pointing-to-moon). This is the problem that has forced most of the philosophers looking at the philosophy of language off the positivist route.
