22879	'God' is an imaginative unity of ideal values [Dewey]
	Full Idea: 'God' represents a unification of ideal values that is essentially imaginative in origin.
	From: John Dewey (The Later Works (17 vols, ed Boydston) [1930], 9:29), quoted by David Hildebrand - Dewey 7 'Construct'
	A reaction: This seems to have happened when a flawed God like Zeus is elevated to be the only God, and is given supreme power and wisdom.
