God doesn’t speak. We speak. And we often speak to ourselves without realizing it. And yes, sometimes these words to ourselves take on the form of the Gods we worship, but only because our minds and our beings have been shaped by those stories and those ideas, not because we are actually hearing them.

Put simply, I believe that God is not a being “out there” beyond an infinitely large chasm of difference. I believe God is truly omnipresent. In fact, I believe he is at our very cores.

Most believers today see God as a being “out there”. Here, I try to explain why I think that’s a mistake.

Is there really such as thing as “orthodoxy”? Who even has the authority to decide such things? If you ask me, I think it’s a bunch of baloney.

Not being able to discuss piety with the pious doesn’t mean you’re a heretic. It just might mean you’re a mystic.

But our passage from Luke, read on its own terms rather than in the false univocality so many Christians impose on the text, seems to suggest that the Father, at some point after Christ’s birth, made the decision to choose him.
