Abstract

Multipartite discussions about God are always a delicate and risky exercise in human culture, since they have historically led to dissension, ostracism and ultimately mutual destruction, an incomprehensible paradox in human experience. God may well be the greatest and most intractable object of discord in human culture. If there should be a clash of civilizations, it will probably be instigated by the apparent unreconcilables of our non-negotiable ideas about God from one culture to another. Therefore I do not pretend in the following to present dogma or teach God to anyone, since I am not a priest or a theologian. My foremost motivation for this writing is to expose a rational perspective to scope God, and to initiate a form of conversation about God that may, if practiced, help keep us together thru our cultural differences instead of pulling us apart as usual thru discord and hatred.
