I'm not sure what you mean here? God? what's the problem
with god here? I think Plotinus, Taoist theories, Plato, not
a problem here, the problem I see with the Ein Sof. is not
god, but reality. god, say the god of the Koran, would pose
major problems, Calvanism---interesting that Ronald
Reagan's  biographer said he thought poverty a result of
weakness, ZOYD--- major problems, but not god. White god
yes, but not god.
