Oh, now you've found the perfect example for a philosopher who'd tried to explain himself a mystery that cannot be explained -and in the end, he had no other way out then declare God to be dead. Of course, the end result shows that it's Nietzsche who's been dead for what? Two hundred years by now? While God is still alive and kicking, thank you very much, but that's another matter entirely. *g*

Philosophy and theology are a bit like linguistics. They're all disciplines that try to understand their main topic by taking it apart with surgical precision. Unfortunately, when they're done, all they have is a mutilated carcass.

Either that, or I'm way too stupid to understand the awesomeness of the whole thing. But that's okay. The world needs us, simpler minds, too.
