[MD] a-theism and atheism

[rapsncows at fastmail.fm]

Mark,
you got it right; but I wasn't suggesting that the 'already absolute'
was dynamic, per se.  the point was that there is no reference to say
either way.  If the absolute desired to remain constant, it would have
no way to go about doing so, and it would have no way of knowing if it
were succeeding.  The point is that both those terms are relational,
like you say, and thus have no meaning to the 'already absolute'.  Thus
it need not be, and in fact it cannot be, constrained that way.

if the 'already absolute' wants any dynamism (anything at all - beyond
itself - I think, as I see the 'already absolute' as a pitiful and
wretched state), it must invite relationship in.

now we're having fun!
Tim
