God so to speak


Language is the vehicle of communication and the medium of representation, a chain of signification; it does not amount to knowledge of the world as such. The signifier does not signify the signified. Our knowledge of the world comes through experience. Consequently, the knowledge of God is a matter of experience. Existing or not, God always persists as a signifier at the level of discourse. God exist, or in negative sense, God does not exist. By fitting God on either side of existence or non-existence one merely exercise the onto-theological language game, thus ultimately failing to account for the divine experience, of God’s absence or God’s love or otherwise.
