A maiden is a potential lover. However, following coitus the potential has been actualized. Now the woman, formally a maiden, is an actual lover. For God there are no potentials that are not already actualized. Therefore, He can neither gain nor lose any attributes to become other than what He already is.
And how do we know God is as you say? Why because you choose to define Him thus. True by definition. *yawns*
Yep. That's the tactic of theologians for the past sixteen hundred years, defining god into existence.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
