the nature of God is an unanswerable question.

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

The penalties in the Game are completely arbitrary -

Penalty for what, we ask?
The Judge is silent.
How can I win the Game?
"You can never win," comes the answer,
"So just take pleasure in playing the Game."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

but once gaining perspective, one attains wisdom.

as each person who is in any way affected
by that situation might view it.

as well from as having the perspective of imagination -
the realm of the what-might-be
inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.

to choose one's own way.
