God as we know it is dead. God as a being removed from the world does not work. The all powerful God model is a God who is responsible for the world, yet chooses to not participate in it. We want a God who is a father sitting in the sky, yet God is no father.
God as father is a model. Its a poem to articulate that which cannot be articulated. God can also be mother. Can also be friend and lover. We must hold multiple models of God - because to do so allows us to avoide falling into absolutes.
God is not God. God is beyond God. That which we can define as God is idol. God is life, God is that eruption of life in the midst of space and time. Just as we are always becoming so is God.

What is religious and spiritual revelation in our own day and age? Here in this blog I try to articulate my own path, journey and personal religious quest. I hope you will join me in the search.
