Dissecting the Christian cliché of having a 'God-shaped hole in your heart'.

So. I have a God-shaped hole in my heart?


That is a verifiable claim.


Perhaps I should be volunteering to the University of Christian Cardiology to isolate the physical properties of the Christian God?


Two immediate problems spring to mind;

  • There is no University of Christian Cardiology
  • Were such an entity to exist, I feel they would rather pluck their eyes out than offer the wider scientific community the opportunity to search for God shaped entities in reality 


Of course, it may be the case that I am simply equivocating the theological definition of 'heart'. If this be the case, what is the Christian definition of the word 'heart'?
