 I did have a great Thanksgiving and I hope you did, too. Meditation for me is important though I do not do it as often now. Also I said that God doesn't deal in gray areas because there are none for Him. It's different with the limited mind of man and his limited time of living. Trying to understand an eternal, omniscient and omnipotent being will bring gray areas into the mind and life of those who try and understand Him. Our limitations ensure we will have these gray areas.

Thanks for your response, GC.  Regarding the part in bold and the statements following it, given the extremely advanced nature of your deity, how would you be able to differentiate between "existing without gray areas" and "existing with gray areas that are beyond human understanding"? Hence, is it possible that the perception of the Christian deity as "having no gray areas" may actually be indicative of the limitation of the human mind to comprehend actual gray areas that exist within such a highly advanced being?
