Who's First?


If we had been here first and then set the criteria for a very perfect G‑d, certainly one of our requirements would be that He be logical and understandable.

But He was here first. As for logic, that came later.

Who is First?
When you postulate a thought that can not be proven, the result will always be ambiguous. Men created the notion of G-D and religion, which both are logic. I dont think men wanted a perfect G-D, because we are not perfect, and dont want to be either.

WHO'S FIRST?
Maybe I am misunderstanding this - are you saying that G-d came first and that He did not have logic when he came? To me that sounds incredulous.

What does it mean?
Does it mean that logic is not a divine atribute?
What could it be then?
Maybe a human created tool to reach Him?
I didn't understand...
