coolguyjimmy 07/06/23 7:51:48 PM #6:	Because Christianity has even effected our very language, with how entwined it has become culturally, when you say "God", the language of English has certain expectations from such an entity, and it's not just to be a "Creator". This almost became an issue with the Japanese Bible, because the translators felt that "Kami" did not have the same connotations as "God" does in English. Therefore when one says "God is dead", they do not mean that the Creator has died, but rather the very concept of God (Christian) is dead. <cite>coolguyjimmy posted [p:974672226] in I am not r...
