Summary
By way of synopsis, we have established that God is the most essential item in the symbolic universe which configures and reconfigures everything else that could even be called fundamental assumptions. The one, unique, living God is the colossus that blots out any other possible suns, with all light, all revelation coming from this one deity. God is not argued for, he is assumed, presupposed, depended upon.
