(Which God did so you were allowed to seek/hit bottom.)I'd disagree, I think it's probably the most dramatic expression of indifference that I can conceive of, but so what if it weren't? As I mentioned - we could imagine a great many gods (or sprockets, or waffles, or lint balls, or crayons, or..well..you get the picture I hope) which do not fit any of those categories I already offered and do not rub against the reality of our existence which prompted you to ask the questions. We could also imagine a great many different conceptions of "love" which are in the same boat. The greatest expression of "love" could be lenders bagels, for example...and we don't have a problem.
And?
