I want to clarify that I never called you a "teflon believer". I wouldn't do that, as it's not my place to judge the belief of people.

I referred to the "Teflon God" to define a type of god some apologists use as an argumentative device that exists only to "win" debates. Teflon God is a god impervious to criticism. If I say "God is X" then God is Y.

The trick is to not define the god a priori, then it can be whatever is most convenient.

However, that property doesn't carry to believers. Some may be "teflon believers" but it's not my place to judge their faith or level of belief or honesty.
