An Un-linkable God
1-You probably don’t get the full picture of who my kids are are without knowing me.
2-You don’t really understand me without knowing my kids.
3-One doesn’t really understand creation without knowing God
4-And one doesn’t really understand God without knowing creation. (e.g., your neighbor, your opponents, your oceans, your forests, your world.)
Atheism doesn’t like 3. Much of Western theism doesn’t like 4. But given 1 and 2, it follows that the creator and the creation are intertwined in deep and un-linkable ways. How we treat the earth matters.
