What is Whitehead's Anti-God, the opposition to his God-as-process? Did he avoid speculation about an anti-God to avoid making scandalous but necessary accusations that would trigger defense mechanisms by other beliefs? Did he camoflage his philosophy in part to avoid being flattened by Christianity as a potential threat to it?

Can Deleuze-Guattarian thought help to illuminate this "dark" aspect of Whiteheadean thought that this sensitive, compassionate man was too kind to try to clarify beyond politely vague generalities?

In a different sense, is there is a sexual element of Whiteheadean thought that was too obscene and humanly fleshy for his polite sentiments, such that he left it shrouded in ambiguity? Perhaps not daring to fully reveal his notion of God in fully hyper-pagan organic nudity for fear of offending Christianity's prudish sentiments and similarly drawing its scorn?

There is no anti God in Christianity, God is love and he loves all, an anti-god would have to be something that God does not love, in other words something that God is not present in, which would be nothing at all. Even if it is no-thing but not-nothing, God would still love it. Noumena couldn't be anti-god, because God is all knowing. God condems nothing, a thing may only condem itself for its affinity for the darkness, but there is no darkness in God so there is no coordinate power against the Christian god. Sure there might be an anti Christian aspect of Whitehead's(the Christian) God, but it would only be because Christians fail to love hyper organic pagan nudity, and thus lie when they say they love God.
