LOL! You're right Solon is a big boy and is seldom lost for words. :) I'll answer both of your posts together if that's permitted. While I agree that God is both transcendent and immanent, I disagree that immanence is something God is locked into. He is immanent because He chose to create this universe. His existence is not reliant upon the existence of us since He existed before there was an us. In other words God exists independent of the creation, but the creation cannot exist independent of God. WRT your second post, If no ultimate moral standard exists then you cannot use terms such as inferior, or superior, they are meaningless. "Thank you! This perfectly illustrates the Illusion of Superiority." I fear you celebrate too quickly, because you have just done away with all morality. If I decide to squeeze a pimple there is no moral rightness or wrongness in that. Likewise, (if all is one) and I decide to kill my neighbor rather than love him, there is no essential difference. Can and do you live your life like that? If not, then perhaps your concept of the unity of all things is not merely the product of illusion, maybe it's just plain wrong.
