:
Um, so what you're saying is God can't make choices because he already made choices?
Kind of. If he can't make choices he has no choices to make.

All he can do is well... be. I've heard contemporary scientists (Richard Dawkins is a huge offender) refer to nature the same way that theologians and religious figures refer to God. I think that if God does exist these two things are one and the same and with our limited knowledge about the part of the universe not controlled by what we can see and percieve as matter I think it's more than sufficient to use the word 'God' as a catch-all term for all of it, until we can differentiate between what everything is.

That's not to say we can ascribe any attibutes at all to this, just that it exists and it's the 'God' in everything.

THIS IS OF COURSE ONLY APPLICABLE IF THE METAPHYSICAL EXISTS WHICH I CANNOT SAY WITH ANY CERTAINTY AT ALL IF IT DOES OR NOT SO I WILL REMAIN SKEPTICAL OF IT.
