Funny how the modern Christians pu down their Roman pagan ancestors for anthropomorphing concepts into human like deities, yet their deity is anthropomorphic as well; God is love, god is a man of war, god is wisdom (sophia), God is justice, etc...
God is not just good but IS Goodness is an example of this absurd concept.
Funny thing about the Sophia thing. Sophia is feminine, and much written evidence shows that Earlier Christians worshipped Sophia as the bride of Christ, or as Christs sister, well, it gets confusing on purpose.. being based on mystical mystery religions, a deity could be a concept and a being at the same time, and those related to the concept could be a sister, daughter, mother, and wife all at the same time..just as God can be his own father and son at the same time. Thus concepts such as the trinity that defy even basic mathematics could be accepted as "proof". Its nothing more than mystery cult mind fuck that seemed to mean something to those at the time, but now that we have materialistic science explaining things we no longer have need to express confussion of the cosmos with such symbolic concepts.
