I disagree. Except for those who fall in love with a word but don't
like what the word represents the meaning of "God" is clear; it's also
silly but that's another story. So unlike "free will" when most people
say "God" I know what they're talking about, the only exception is
when philosophers say "God" and then even they don't know what they're
talking about. So I can say I don't believe in God but I can't say I
don't believe in free will because I don't know what it is I'm not
supposed to believe in.

Hey John,
Are you lobbying for the job of Chief Commissioner of the Ministry
