I want my God to be all powerful, all knowing, omnipresent and totally sovereign. If He is less, than I am more and I am very flawed. That just won't work.

First of all, oh yeah, and certainly.

But then what are we doing when we discuss God? In what way is our conversation meaningful? (I'm looking over my shoulder at stuartcr when I ask this, because, as far as I -- no doubt imperfectly -- recall he introduced the term "absolute" so were getting all philosophical here ...)

Actually, I'm pretty comfortable with saying "God is all powerful, but I'm not sure what that means," but it makes the apologetic enterprise at least interesting.

Depends on what the word all means .
