Christ is a persuasion, a form of evoking desire... Such an account [of Christ] must inevitably make an appeal to beauty.
Unless the world is truly set apart from God and possesses a dependent but real liberty of its own analogous to the freedom of God, everything is merely a fragment of divine volition, and God is simply the totality of all that is and all that happens; there is no creation, but only an oddly pantheistic expression of God's unadulterated power.
The final encounter with God, or an encounter with God that would take you beyond doubt, wouldn't have the character of a metaphysical proof.
