Because the analogy breaks down when you carry it far enough? Yeah. As with the dictionary analogy and any analogy about anything, ultimately there end up being differences, as I already admitted. I even told you WHERE the sister analogy stops being useful, and now you point this out like it's news to me.

> If you can't do this, if it boils down to an appeal to the unknowable, then again I say you have no claim to Truth.

God is unknowable only in the sense that he's not *completely* knowable. As with his creation, one can learn more about him/it all the time but never complete that knowledge. So I will substitute "incommunicatable" for "unknowable," as I think that word better suits us here, and then let you conclude whatever the heck you want to from that, because this discussion ran its course ages ago.
