things in general after all, and therefore is a wretched failure.
The propounder a very ordinary person advertised by a clique.
IV (A century later): The Novelty a mixture of truth and error.

The propounder worthy of all honor
in spite of his share of human frailties,
as one who has added to the permanent possessions of science.

There are as many perspectives on
the nature of God as there are people.
However much any of us may choose to argue,

Perhaps the nature of God is so complex and multifaceted
that each view of God describes an aspect of the complex whole.
Or perhaps the nature of God is actually defined by our beliefs.
