Abstract
In this paper we examine what is the relation between God and Paraconsistency. We first start by some general considerations about paraconsistent negations and paraconsistent things. We then examine in which sense the “thing” called “God” is paraconsistent or not. Finally, we look the other way round and discuss the divinity of paraconsistency.
