I\u2019ve been sparing with my use of the G Bomb, so far, because it does need handling with bomb-disposal-team levels of care. It is present in the background of everything I am going to say, of course, but my hope is that those of you who are cautious or outright allergic to God talk will find much that is thought-provoking or useful anyway. If you are interested to read my attempt to address the subject more directly, you can flip ahead to the final chapter. Until then, I\u2019ll mainly use [God] to remind us that these are perhaps the most semiotically dense three letters in our language, and that we will all be dragging our own associations into the space between those two brackets.
