I write G-d, not because I'm religious but because I'm superstitious. Karma has kicked my ass before.


Conceivably, If G-D is:
Not tangible
Not capable of being multiplied or divided
Unchanging
A concept that does not contain decimals, fractions or radicals
Neither positive nor negative (not in the sense of heaven or hell…)
Not even nor odd
Abstract
To one side of G-D is positive, the other negative

Then couldn’t he/she be the number zero?

I say this with complete respect, not in the sense that “hey that guy is just a big fat zero.” But rather referring to the fact that zero is a unique and beautiful number. Math is the universal language that all humans can learn to speak. No one questions the language; there is no argument that six plus four equals ten. Every country and every religion cannot deny this fact. It is, in many ways, the language before the tower of Babel.

I understand that invariably someone has come up with this analogy, it just occurred to me at about three a.m. so I thought I’d share.
