ReplyTo a comment on Numbers In Heaven by Dovina.

Getting back to where we were before this diversion, you were saying, "To be like God or not to be like God" in what I take as an evasion of my question "What is God like?"

I have tried several times to impale you to some substantial pillar to stop you from dancing around what you really mean. I've tried gears with missing teeth, trial attributes of "god," and compliments, all of which you have dodged.

Now I resort to classification with its inevitable angerment. You are a Taoist and your god is Tao. Tao is nameless; if you call it something, it hides. Tao is before concepts, before individual things. And in keeping with where I am saying this,
taoists believe numbers exist by virtue of the universe of numbers - because they are.

Unless you straighten up and say something substantial about this God you claim, I shall be forced to post a poem entitled, "The God of Alchemy."
