If God could be comprehended, what you comprehend would not be God. It would be something on the same level as you, something occupying the same ontological level in the hierarchy of being. More probably it would be something lower than you (but I am probably already vexing the atheists with my audacity in speaking about higher and lower things; its not PC to state that things are greater or less).</i> Is this guy really a Catholic? If any understanding of God is "lower" than man, then the Bible (an attempted understanding of God) must be low. Pretty damn low.

After all, "I" am literally a part of the universe, indistinct from other matter- "I"am sentient, thus universe is sentient. I'm sort of trapped in this teeny body, but I can move some things around, think, carry out some simple plans, basically be the quintessential human being- it's fun. I am not all that powerful, unless I'm compared to the mythical beings thought up by other people who do *not* realize they are the universe. Example; if you wrong me so badly I say your'e going to feel my vengeance, it's not going to be in a poetic "someday, probably after you die, your soul will be unhappy" way, it's going to be in a right now "oh man that really hurts" way. And if I think you're cool and say I'm going to be nice to you, it won't be in a "I gave your daughter cancer in spite of your prayers because I'm am mysterious and have fkucde-up motives" way, it'll be in a "dinner is on me, here I got you a birthday present" kinda way. Yet people don't pray to me..... odd. I actually have no problem acknowledging myself as the most powerful being in the universe.

It should be clear that God <i>is</i> the foundation, not held up by (or in charge of) one. But I assume that as you are unable to comprehend my comments, this makes me (your) god. No need to fret, as I am not a vengeful deity. I do however expect many offerings. Virginal ones get my attention quickest. Uh, June?
