Have you ever heard of the analogy of white noise (typically found in Electrical Engineering circles) and the typical descriptions one would encounter when talking to a believer about their specific god.
For those of you that don't know about the phenomenon of White Noise (for those of you that might be a tad bit oversensitive, it has nothing do with racial issues) in electrical engineering, it's basically the portion of a signal that is produced with randomness (like gossip perhaps) around some fixed carrier frequency (one individual spreading some nasty ass rumors). Here I would state that the fixed carrier signal (god or words or concepts that are used to describe a characteristic of god) are used to describe things with no REAL usable message. I mean we may glen a small bit of insight from this "White Noise" but it appears that the REAL signal is being drowned out for some reason. One could also apply the Electrical Engineering concept of attempting to FILTER (Take your pick.... Low Pass Filter, High Pass Filter, Bandpass Filter, or one of my personal favorites the NOTCH or Band Reject Filter) out the "White Noise" in order to achieve something closer to a truth or REAL and USABLE signal.
Just my quick thoughts on the subject....... What do you think? An analogy that is worth expanding into a book or something?
Yeah.....

Not exactly the same concept but close enough, I suppose.
I mean I could probably imagine coming up with a few concepts related to Gaussian White Noise..... Or something to that effect.
