Dear List:

The following is a link to an explanation of Godel's proof of god.

http://www.stats.uwaterloo.ca/~cgsmall/ontology.html

What I have always found interesting about Godel was his statement that any system contains true statements which cannot be proven true within that system.

I often think of this when people start talking about god. Maybe the truth or falsity of the existence of god is unprovable within the system/universe where humans are located.

Maybe the only thing can be measured is the consequences of a belief/non-belief in god. What actions do such positions cause a person to take?

There have been pro-queer believers and non-believers as well as anti-queer believers and non-believers. So is the vital question whether or not one believes or is it how one behaves in life?
