God is not just another object

Damon Linker follows up on the conversation here. 

And yet no one would suggest that we judge the coherence or accuracy of particle physics by asking a vaguely informed non-scientist about it. Why, then, do critics of God think it sufficient to dismantle the untutored intuitions of non-theologians?

At this point, I should take note of the fact that Hart himself is unwilling entirely to write off those untutored intuitions, many of which often end up being “perfectly concordant with the more arcane formulae of the metaphysician: That God is Spirit, incorporeal, not an object located somewhere in space, not subject to the limitations of time, not a product of cosmic nature, not simply some craftsman who creates by manipulating materials external to himself, not composed of parts, but rather residing in all things while remaining perfectly one, present to us in the depths of our own beings.”
