AB The relation between I and my bodily behaviour does not provide an apt analogy for the relation between God and I, or between God and any of the many particular ‘mores' of particular observables. The relation between the one divine ‘more' and the many particular ‘mores' needs another kind of analogy if it is to be at all intelligible. Ramsey seems to be hinting at another kind of analogy, another kind of approach to the use of the word ‘God' as a unifying key word, in his essay ‘Paradox in Religion':‘The word "God" is a unique and ultimate keyword dominating the whole of a theistic language scheme, an "irreducible posit" to which the theist appeals as his end-point of explanation.'
