It's not a static concept at all. The concept of God has changed and
mutated quite a lot during the course of the centuries. The intesresting
thing is that according to that ever-changing concept, God himself
does not change or mutate. Thereby the concept implicitly admits that
it's wrong most of the time.

Being a christian, I naturally believe that my current concept of
God is reasonably correct. On the other hand, I'm only human, and
humans are known to be wrong quite a lot of the time.


But I don't think that has much to do with a-life.
