Agreeing on a defintion of "God" with theists

Hello Everyone, I hope you have a goog day.

Like the title suggests, when we let theists keep deciding , arbitrary, what their favorite deity is, and that they keep changing this definition as the debate goes, we lost.

So, if they add properties like being extra-dimensional, or infinite, and that, without reasonable assumptions or backing from religious authorities, we must tell them.

For example, when they say God is infinite, we have to work trough all the ramifications before continuing. In my mind, saying your god is infinite is close to say it is indefinite, and so, the whole point of discussing is moot. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Your thoughts on this?
