   One of my messages is that no someone can be both all   
   powerful and perfectly loving.   But I think that an   
   all powerful someone can be somewhat loving.   
      
   I define God as ALL (all/everything) since it is   
   all powerful and since ALL(t) creates   
   ALL(t + Delta t) so ALL is an ongoing creator and   
   that ongoing creation is equivalent to evolution.   
      
   I define LOVE as the someone or something that is not   
   a someone that has the highest goodness norm as   
   defined and measured by ALL (a norm is a length   
   measure).   Moreover I define LOVE2 as the someone   
   that has the highest goodness norm for a someone   
   as defined and measured by ALL.   So if LOVE is a   
   someone then LOVE2=LOVE.   
      
   ALL is not LOVE but it could be that LOVE is ALL's   
   love or ALL's law to love and LOVE2 may be the   
   personification of ALL's lave and may be   
   equivalent to the Holy Spirit.   
      
   I am not a Christian anymore though I was raised   
   Catholic, but I think that my deity ALL is the   
   same as the Catholic God the Father, and I postulate   
   that my deity LOVE2 is the same as the Holy Spirit,   
   and I also have Jesus as one of my deities.  BUt   
   I don't believe that all three are identical   
   though their souls may be aligned such that they   
   effectively have one soul.
