On a semi serious note, however, I now call upon our various Deity candidates to one at a time attempt to best express themselves and touch us...proving to our own internal beliefs at least that they deserve to be loved, worshiped, and trusted.
Well, I guess Candidate 5 (Human Imagination) will bow out of this particular competition. I don't think, strictly speaking, that Imagination deserves any of the above (love, worship, trust).
However, if you decide to return to the OP:
I want to start a semi humorous, semi serious discussion about the nature of God.
then I will make 5's case.
I suppose that 5, as the meta-god, should not really be on the panel. But, if you want to know the true nature of any god, 5 should not be ignored. Gods do not exist except in the presence of Candidate 5.
Cheerio.
