In the search for God, Richard Dawkins has said that the diagnostic criteria for a god is being uncaused. With this in mind, I came up with several criteria for different god concepts. Ultimate God: The uncaused, single entity that created the universe. (Like to god of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.) Strong God: A single entity that created the universe, who is a descendant of an uncaused entity. (Many ancient religions had this view, like the ancient Mesopotamians or ancient Greeks.)

People also use the term casual gamer these days to mean non-gamer, which seems like a silly contradiction to me. Nintendo recently came under fire for saying that Animal Crossing: City Folk was a core game for core gamers. The ...
