Even though I am an atheist I thought this description of God by Umberto Eco in his book Bauolino too good to pass up:
"God is lamp without flame, a flame without fire, a fire without heat, a dark light, a silent rumble, a blind flash, a luminous soot, a ray of his own darkness, a circle that expands concentrating on its own center, a solitary multiplicity, he is a space that is not, in which you and I are the same thing, as we are today in this time that doesn't flow".
Beautiful, I could be converted to this God, and I suspect maybe even Richard Dawkins!!
