It connects with the theologians' point that you can say what God is not, but not (easily) what He is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing.
No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.
I don't say what God is, but a name That somehow answers us when we are driven To feel and think how little we have to do With what we are.
God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.
It seems obvious to me that the notion of God has never been anything but a kind of ideal projection, a reflection upward of the human personality, and that theology never has been and never can be anything but a more and more purified mythology.
Having refuted, then, as well as we could, every notion which might suggest that we were to think of God as in any degree corporeal, we go on to say that, according to strict truth, God is incomprehensible, and incapable of being measured.
God just has a way of working things out the way he wants to and you have no say in that.
Theologians have a great problem because they're seeking to speak about God. Since God is the ground of everything that is, there's a sense in which every human inquiry is grist to the theological mill. Obviously, no theologian can know everything.
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
A comprehended god is no god.
