It is always fascinating to see how one subject leads to 1,001 others—at least in the minds of some—as the following discussion ensued (all quotations from him are sic. including ellipses points in the original, etc.).

My reply:
Friend, pardon me for butting in but your comment is fascinating. The notion (conception of or belief about something) of God began with God’s self-revelation of Himself. The issue of “the english language” is a whole other issue pertaining to definition, grammar, etc. and human language, in general, existed long before English came about. Then the issue of “familiar culture” which would be anthropological, historical context and/or cultural context well, as far as we can tell theism has been the human default for all of human history. At this point I will note that asking where did the notion, term or culture of belief in God came from can quickly lead you to a form of a logical genetic fallacy: presuming to discredit a claim by attacking the source of the claim.
Now, that “god is not relevant to anything in present day culture or language” is a classic example of how Atheism is a worldview. You are interpreting present day culture and language according to the though restricting parameters of Atheism (materialism, naturalism, reductionism, etc.). Also, your statement is obviously inaccurate since the majority of all humans are theists. For a shortcut to understanding how this leads to culture and language being affected, if not formed, by theism consider that Richard Dawkins claims that he is a “cultural Christian” and encourages people to read the Bible so as to understand literature.
Lastly, I am unsure how the number 13 is an example of something that is “obsolete and primitive.” In fact, the number 13, as well as all other numbers, could be said to be eternal and absolute.

Well, I can see that you are avoiding everything I stated and are now making claims without evidence. In any case, you may want to read, “Is the Bible an Anunnaki control mechanism”: http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/bible-anunnaki-control-mechanism
And that, as they say, was that.
