Define “Lord.”

@LeopoldBloom Definition of Lord. Having authority. One man's lord is not another man's lord. A title. To an unbeliever Jehovah isn't God, or Lord in the sense that the unbeliever doesn't perceive Jehovah as having authority over them, even if he in fact does.

@AkioTsukino OK, then in that case, I would say that "lords" do exist since there are people who have authority over other people. That's just an outmoded word to use for that relationship.
If you're going to say that "Jehovah" has "authority" over unbelievers, you'll need to prove that. Otherwise it's just your opinion and not a "fact." A Muslim could substitute "Allah," a Scientologist could substitute "L. Ron Hubbard," or anyone could substitute whatever the like with the same authority.

Right. No one is trying to trick you here. Just because the words god and lord can apply in various ways doesn't change anything.

No one can prove that except for Jehovah. It is no one's place to do that.

@AkioTsukino I haven't seen any proof for Jehovah's existence, let alone his "lordship." If you have any, please produce it.
