From zaq's answer to a related question:


  In the Moreh Nevuchim [(Part 1 ch.53)], Rambam explains how God's attributes should be understood without compromising God's unchangingness.
  
  He compares God's mood to a fire. If you put ice in a fire, it melts, then evaporates. If you put clay in a fire, it hardens. If you put wood in a fire it burns... The fire causes many different and contrasting effects without changing the fire's properties. The same "fire melts certain things and makes others hard, it boils and burns, it bleaches and blackens." It is the properties of each individual material that elicit a different interactions with fire. 


"God is Fire": Trying to Source an Analogy for Prayer
This is my first program that uses more than just boring ol' if/else statements - I made a whole 246 line game that's still a work in progress simply using if/else - and I'm going to email this to my teacher later tonight.

Please suggest more things I can add and report any bugs (although I've found none so far).
