WLC: "You can't prove the negative"

[emjay]

Which makes God even more absurd, because, such an entity is not defined in terms of what it is but in terms of what it is not.

P.S.  If you reply to me is an affirmation that a concept of God is more absurd than the existence of a FSM, I concur.

Welcome to the negative Way, friend. There is a hole in the world where God ought to be.

So how do you apply this 'Negative Way' thinking to the God of the Bible? Ie it's one thing to think of God in this abstract 'God of the philosophers' type way... God is Good, God is Being etc... but how you get from that, or can discern that, from reading the Bible, especially the OT, has frankly always been a complete mystery to me. Ie how do you get from the dynamic and seemingly arbitrary, spiteful, jealous (as it is itself claimed to be in the Bible), insecure and indecisive god of the OT - one willing to repeatedly smite whole groups/populations for the sins of a few, just to make a point or advance a narrative - to this somewhat static-seeming abstract concept of a God of the Five Ways... God is capital G Good itself, God is capital B Being itself? Basically I'm asking, how does 'Negative Way' thinking apply in practical terms to reading the Bible?
