Peter has a better handle than I do on this kind of Western atheism. But no : Zzabur isn't actually a special case in that sense. Many Westerners do in fact conceive of the IG as a measurable & knowable entity. Zzabur is special only because he knows and has measured God, unlike anyone else. But if he can do it, anyone can.

He's at the Top of it (well, one of the Summits, anyway).

Wrong question really : those who believe that He is are sorcerous sects.
Your problem here is that it's actually fairly difficult to get one's head 'round the basic concepts of sorcery and Monotheism.
That probably won't be much help, actually. :-( Sorry, can't help you really. You'd have to ask Greg.

I don't think that any such 'progression' actually exists : God is One. It is men who are weak, and cannot reach Him.
