“..... God is being-itself is the only direct and nonsymbolic statement that can be made about God. God is the name for the infinite and inexhaustible depth and ground of all being..... Since God is depth, you cannot then call yourself an atheist or unbeliever." "The fundamental symbol for our ultimate concern is God. It is always present in any act of faith, even if the act of faith includes the denial of God. Where there is ultimate concern, God can be denied only in the name of God.... he who denied God as a matter of ultimate concern affirms God, because he affirms ultimacy in his concern.'
