(n.) the genderless eternal essence of the undefined; the force by which all life, and all existence, depends; and in human understanding, the equivalent of "love." Nearly impossible to describe, it is something that must be truly experienced to be understood. Much like attempting to describe the complex and wondrous tastes of a multi-course meal to someone who has never eaten before.
Person 1: God doesn't exist.
Person 2: I know, he IS existence.
Person 1: No, what I mean is that there is no such thing as god.
Person 2: How do you know?
Person 1: Because there is no proof he exists.
Person 2: Well, there's no proof he doesn't exist either.
Person 1: Of course not, you can't proove negative existence. You can't have evidence that something isn't out there, because only real things leave evidence.
Person 2: Is there a hippo in your living room?
Person 1: . . . huh?
Person 2: Is there a hippo in your living room?
Person 1: . . . no. Why?
Person 2: Are you sure?
Person 1: Yes.
Person 2: How can you be sure?
Person 1: Because I can look at my living room and see that there is no hippo there.
Person 2: Well, there you have it. You just prooved a negative existence.
Person 1: . . . oh my god. You're right.
Person 2: See?
Person 1: But still, there is no proof that god exists.
Person 2: There is no proof that YOU exist either.
Person 1: Of course I exist. People can see me, hear what I say, and can tell you of the effect I've had on their lives.
Person 2: A lot of people would say the same thing about God.
Person 1: . . . nuh-uh.
Person 2: Yeah-huh.
