On Peirce's account, if the Universe has /any effect at all/ on God, then it /cannot/ be a Sign whose Object is God. Do you therefore deny that the Universe is a Sign? Or do you view something other than God as its Object? Or do you simply think that Peirce was /wrong/ about every Sign being strictly passive in relation to its Object? Rejecting the impassibility of God leaves only those three options, as far as I can tell.
This is not Peirce's account. It is a JAS account that has no basis in anything that Peirce wrote. Please see the note on methodeutic. To put words in Peirce's mouth violates every principle of responsible scholarship. John
