Yes, seriously. Who is God? What is your perception of him?

Curiously enough, this thread has it's genesis in another one about marriage. @kenmac makes good points there, but he intricately ties marriage (or at least the success of it) to Christianity. He suggests that for a marriage to succeed, it must be founded in Christ. @tycho, contributing to the same thread, implies that all of life must conform to Godliness in order to make sense. Yet the character of God appears consistently discordant depending on who you ask. Multiplicity of different religions with different doctrines, for one, is clear testimony to this assertion. So is disagreement over how many "gods" there are, where they live and the level of their influence on mankind and nature in general.

To say that "a symbol cannot be univocal", is the same thing as to say "a symbol will necessarily mean different things to different observers of it". To say that about the symbol "God" is to imply, for all intents and purposes, that there is more than one God. To introduce the notion of inscrutability is to commit infanticide to this thread.

Yes. If symbols aren't univocal, then it follows that each participant has his/her God. But the story doesn't end in subjectivity only. There must be communicative action, and shared meaning. Once this is considered, then the number of Gods reduces along the dynamics of communication and sharing, and being. For example, crops grow in the same way all over the world.

This is the process of convergence.

Inscrutability on the other hand, invites humans to communicative action. If it were not there we'd have neither religion nor science.

God vs the Infinity of Nothingness.The irresistible force vs the immovable object.To understand this is to understand why God is Love.

How would God answer this question?

An answer is an action.An action implies an actor.That would imply nothingness is.

Then it ceases to be nothingness yet nothingness can't be.

again this path leads to paradox not illumination

You can't seek God by competition in knowledge.......convergence is the only way.

I disagree even if there is no conclusive answer.Assuming one believes in God,tracing the question of the first Mover/Cause inevitably leads to a better understanding of existence or aspects of its nature.
