Summary: The word “God” is a word without meaning, it is a mere placeholder. After all, a word that means anything, really means nothing. We begin theology with a fairly concrete idea about God, but end up with an abstract ground of being kind of force. That’s because concrete definitions of God are contradictory. Transcendence is incompatible with immanence, God as a person is incompatible with his being everywhere presence, and God’s foreknowledge is incompatible with his freedom. The truth is that God is the word we use to embody the projection of our ideals. God is the perfect human.
