"God, by definition being limitless..." that definition is trivial. It tells you nothing, and it is a HUMAN definition.

"Bill - You seem to assume that dying is "a bad thing".
   ?? Me? I made no particular assumptions. If you were to ask the 287, though, I'd guess that they'd tell you that dying THEN, and in that way, was not a 'good' thing. And the survivor in those cases is NOT just making a metaphysical observation for the sake of Little Hawk's philosophical analysis....he is insinuating that HE was not 'ready', and that his survival was specifically because of God intervening.

One more time...(7th? 12th?)...If your definition is that broad, it loses all relevance. If God is 'everything', and everything is God, we don't really need two words. If there is an 'eternal spirit' or something, that permeates all existence, but can't be identified, talked to, measured, predicted, or pinned down, except rhetorically, it is simply language being used to sound like we have a referent.

You 'may' be correct...but it is a semantic truth which is like trying to grasp smoke.
