 Lafleur believes if God was eternal, he could not be within time at all, he would have to be outside of it.He follows up with the argument that if God is outside of time, he could not interact with us since he would need some sort of access to the present to have a relationship with us.Thus, argues Lafleur, God would have no religious significance to us if he was eternal because then he wouldn't have any connection or hand in our fate.
