THE ONE ABSOLUTE THING

everything's relative isn't it ... ah one of those trick questions the correct answer to which is yes and no ... depending on what you mean by thing ... if you mean by thing the contents of the universe then yes but if you mean all that and god too then no ... it's a necessary truth that everything in the universe is connected to every other thing if only remotely and indirectly ... and each of those connections is a two-way street ... that is if A is connected to B then B is connected to A ... but there is no such an equal connection between god and creation ... that connection is absolutely dissimilar to any of the others ... relations within the universe are necessary logical and complete based simply on their existence ... whether past actual potential or impossible they are fixed ... the connection between god and the universe is never necessary or reciprocal that it's logical or even conceivable ... if you think the distinction between something and nothing is a chasm then try figuring out what it is that can bring something from nothing ... our relation to that thing is defined on both sides by one side not so much cause as generosity
