You know, I have found that if we talk about ideas rather than the individuals talking about them, things are just nicer.

The very idea that something constrained within a subset can comprehend something existing outside of it (in this case a "god" entity of some sort) doesn't hold water. You can't describe the remaining twenty-one characters by using only the first five in the alphabet, neither can human beings living within a constrained time/space continuum have a ghost of a chance arriving at any viable theory of what exists outside that resource restricted subset. To have any knowledge of that superset something from there would have to communicate to the subset using only information available within the subset, making all alleged revelatory information about the superset pointless and arbitrary. This is my main heartburn with gods and goddesses and any alleged knowledge of them supposedly discovered or revealed to human beings.
