"Don Dogget, agent of SMERSH, emerged from an alley and dropped
the microfilm. When deciphered, it read:"

SMERSH?  I'll bite, what is it?  Do I wear a cool suit and glasses?

" Actually, I think this slightly reverses the usual understanding
of the relationship between God-in-Eternity and Time. I would
not say that God "is always NOW"; rather, I would say that God
perceives past, present, and future as always-already
simultaneously present before God. To say that God is NOW almost
seems to restrict God, to place God in the NOW, whereas I posit
that we want to say that no moment contains or can contain God."

Thank you, that's what I meant but I was trying (unsuccessfully) for
economy.
