"there is certainly no logic that dictates calling god a person based on the generally accepted definition of 'persons' and "god"... BWTFIDK" There is every reason for a man who claims to be a member in good standing of a Church, who's central teaching claims that Jesus is God, to realize that If Jesus is a person, and Jesus is God, then God is a person.

Sort of like we are advanced microbes.... single cells all 'colonized'. But we don't think of ourselves as "cells", rather 'people'. Our bodies cells are all each living things. But we're more than a conglomeration of cells, we're also organisms and persons in addition to that. All definitions I suppose... don't know why anyone would call god a person... anymore than I call a person a cell. BWTFDIK. In any case... there is certainly no logic that dictates calling god a person based on the generally accepted definition of 'persons' and "god"... BWTFIDK. Why not? God may be, undoubtedly is, a much more advanced person in ways we can't imagine (perhaps he is something more than a person as well as being a person), but our not calling God a person would imply we think he's less than a person. Extraordinarily presumptious of us.
