I don’t know about all peoples descriptions of a possible god but to me the mere physical properties of light or any energy for that matter puts it top of the list of my personal contenders. — Benj96
It appears to slow down through material but individual photons do not slow down their path is just riddled with bouncing around off material before exiting. — Benj96

Furthermore light can not create anything — SpaceDweller

Sorry to be a nitpicker, but this is not the reason light slows down in different media. — T Clark

Bats do not believe in God at least not as far as we know. We believe in God and so picture him in our own terms. — Tobias
Tobias
Why should they believe in gods? If the eternal heavenly gods created the temporary material universe in their image, bats do enough to just live and please the bat gods. Like we live to entertain the people gids. — Hillary
Hillary
Well than the bat gods be sound... (I do advice you to refrain from eating more mushrooms). — Tobias

Lucifer - that perennially mortifying, theologically disconcerting - and hence well-glossed-over - morsel of god - is both Prince of Darkness and Bringer of Light — ZzzoneiroCosm

If god is anything material - and if god is anything like his cosmos - god is the perfect sacred commingling of darkness and light. In the bizarre mythology of William Blake - perhaps the solitary mystic genius of 18th and 19th Century England - the Marriage of Heaven and Hell. — ZzzoneiroCosm

Gods are non-physical eternal — Hillary

Benj96
However, the old German is right, pure light is pure nothingness because it does not bear any contrast within itself. — Tobias
Hillary
Well I was pouring out how light is also non-physical (massless) and eternal (cannot be created or destroyed) — Benj96
