Definitions

It occurs to me that in these writings I am utilizing two different definitions of God, sometimes clearly separate and sometimes mixed with each other. The first definition is the traditional one as God, the entity that I as a person believe in. I will not remove the use of God in this sense from my posts, even though they often muddle the clarity of the philosophical ideas I set forth. For that, it is a too important part of what I wish to say.
The other use of the word God is as a purely philosophical element. When used in this way, the word God (though somewhat misleading, I admit), sums up the ideas of a universal constant, holism and spiritual substance. To many readers, any article dealing with God in the first sense will sound utterly absurd, while one dealing with God in the second might still be very interesting. It is therefore important that the reader keeps these two different definitions in mind when reading any post on this site, to avoid misunderstandings.
