However, I think people will differ naturally in their thought processes, emphasis, perception, understanding, ability to respond, etc. to the idea of God. To me it is much more natural to think of God in terms of a child-parent relationship and a friend-confidant one. I simply don't think of myself or others as having been put here were it not for God wanting the intimacy and feedback of such relationships much more than the one characterized by the chasm of finiteness and infinity. In other words I feel that God walks with us and adjusts his pace to accommodate his beloved creatures to the point where he is even part of us with the corresponding warmth and love. On my part this does not invite disrespect, indifference or lack of awe and I feel badly for those who react that way because they elect to ignore or even deny the reality of God.<br /><br />This therefore hinges on accepting the idea of God and unfortunately (and this might be cyclic throughout human history) nowadays that idea with its logical consequences is falling more and more out of favor. And, also unfortunately, that may eventually result in more or less severe parental midcourse corrections.<br />Qmannoreply@blogger.com
