Different in degree or kind: our speech has pitch control (Introduction)

DAVID: I'm not surprised at your answer, and your blinkered view of God who plays at no purpose. Why can't God have serious purposes?

dhw: The only serious purpose you have mentioned is his desire to have a relationship with humans, although he keeps himself hidden. What other serious purpose do you have in mind? And before you revert to your reluctance to “humanize” God, if he is human enough to want a relationship with humans, why can’t he be human enough to want to create a great changing spectacle of life that will fill the void? And finally, why is the latter view more blinkered and less serious than the view that all he wanted to produce was humans?

DAVID: Humans are His main purpose, And filling a void He created shows purpose in the void, which allows for balance of nature, and you know the reason for balance. As for humans, don't you regard your existence as an important result of His activities?

To answer your question, yes, my existence is important to me. Now perhaps you will answer the questions I have asked you.
