[Mrs. Don-o]

I suspect you're putting an unnecessarily negative slant on Zmirak's piece. God's nature is a pool simple enough for a lamb to wade in and enjoy, and deep and wild enough to drown a mammoth. God has all these aspects and more. Surely when the Creator said, "Love me with your whole mind," he was at least implying we ought to think about Him to the furthest extent that mind can take us.

Or why did He give us minds and say, "Love me with them"?

Not that we'll fathom Him, but that we will find ever deeper and wider dimensions and more brilliant intricacies of Him

"...whose beauty is past change:
Praise him."

You say: “I suspect you're putting an unnecessarily negative slant on Zmirak’s piece.”

But you fail to really address his comments or how I'm being “unnecessarily negative”.

A simply question is whether pagan Greek philosophy really was, as the author asserts, was the best way at hand to explain God and prayer.

Why not speak to that instead of mammoths and lambs?
