Thread Name: What does the word 'God' mean to you?
Subject: RE: What does the word 'God' mean to you?
Ghandi could have equally said:

And is this power benevolent or malevolent?
I see it as purely malevolent, for I can see that in the midst of life, death persists.
In the midst of truth, untruth persists.
In the midst of light, darkness persists.
Hence I gather that God is death, lies, darkness.

But he didn't. Rather, he concluded that He is love. He is the supreme good. Why?
