62. Just smacks of wanting to have the cake and eat it too.
What it sounds like is being said, is "Here's an analogy that illustrates a point I'm making about an infinite and unknowable god."

If your god is infinitely complex and can never be understood by mere human minds, then NO analogy could ever begin to approximate some aspect of this infinitely complex being. Just like you can't take 1/3 of infinity, an infinite being by definition could never be divided into knowable parts. Each part would be infinitely complex.

Seems like most folks are just making it up as they go along.
