> This particular discussion, though, is only indirectly about attributes. I'm questioning the relevance of God to us as individuals. To do that, we have to try to read his mind, to fathom his purpose and his nature. If he has no mind/purpose/nature, then he has no relevance to us ... end of discussion. If it's pointless trying to find any common ground between him and us ... also end of discussion. If there is a possibility of common ground, we can only speculate on what it might be ... beginning of discussion.-Wow. My dog made me hit "submit." -Your post here reminds me of a burning question I've had for David for quite some time: Why believe in a God if you can't fathom anything about it? -David?

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
