i neither believe nor disbelieve...the question of "god" has no particular interest for me.
from within the judeo-christian frame, which i was raised in and which to a certain degree i cannot escape, i think pascal was right---on its own terms, christianity posits a god that human understanding cannot access, cannot know at all. nietzsche, for that matter, was also right in his repetition of pascal.
so it follows that god is simply a noun--a peculiar type of proper noun that does not name but which can be invested in as if it did.
i think the noun exists, as an object and as a peculiar type of proper noun that does not name but which can be invested in as if it did.
