Proteus wrote: This is not Jewish teaching.What's to prevent the emergence of a legend?I think I've made my point.Time for me to move on.Most of my theological reflection in recent months has been nearly, if not, atheistic.First, we have the conclusion to the "Totally Simple" thread. If I understand that correctly, G-d is not in any way personal, nor a person, nor a personality at all.Then we have my notion of G-d as All. Not quite in any way, shape or form the G-d most people think of. A G-d who created existence must transcend it, and IOW both be and not be. Exist and not exist.Similar enough is my notion of G-d as What Is. I need not detail.Yet a recurring feature of recent worship services at my church has been my sense of what I'm powerless to call anything other than Spirit, both filling the entire worship space and permeating my own being.First, it tells me for certain (as certain as I can be) that there is more to the universe than time, space and matter.Second, it does NOT tell me that Christianity has any monopoly on truth. Rather, it tells me that altruism is a transpersonal force largely independent of anyone's belief system.
