 One may object that a social entity can’t be a god, as such a thing is merely an abstraction. Layman answers that social entities are concrete, not abstract, and can intentionally act (159–60). Intentionally acting requires having intentions, but social entities may have these, even though they are not selves or even subjects of consciousness. Social entities may have intentions because their parts (i.e. various selves) have them. As a fallback, Layman suggests the view that social entities may act even though they’re incapable of intentional action (159). Like Craig, Layman argues that the Trinity can be omnipotent, perfectly good, and omniscient because its persons are (160). Why then is the Trinity not a fourth divine person (see section  3.1)?
