I believe you can't reach an understanding of the nature of God with proofs, theorems, studies, formulae, or any other right brain construction. God is not a word. I am not commenting on your husband's posts in particular, but on the general mindset of the thread as it appears a gaggle of gifted minds is trying to intellectualize spirituality while being oblivious to the folly of such an endeavor.

I have enjoyed your husband's contributions, and welcome them.

I yell upstairs for him to come down and contribute something.. E, that brings back memories. My late husband and I were always yelling at one another "to come down and contribute something" to a discussion. And when there was no one else around, we would stage our own discussions/arguments. He was a professed atheist, but better versed in theology than 99% of the nation's churchgoers. I was the resident agnostic, and so it clearly devolved on me to defend religion while he attacked it. Or we would argue about his idol, Ezra Pound; he was so pro-Ezra, that I of course had to be anti-Ezra... This arguing was only a sort of intellectual flirtation...Oh, the joys of intellectual flirtation (whether or not they lead to outright intellectual seduction)! I miss them... I think N. would understand -- although I will not reveal why I think he would. (Sshhh!) Joan
