Thread Name: BS: Where Is God Book Two
Subject: RE: BS: Where Is God Book Two
Where is the force of gravity? Where is the law that determines the speed of light? Where is the two in 2+2=4? Where is the value of Pi?

The difference is that God (which is a metaphor, our little attempt to eff the ineffable, and nothing to get riled about) seems to hear us and respond to us in some mysterious ways, seems in fact to love us, seems to consist entirely of love. One of my favorite theologians is Paul Simon:
"God only knows, and God has his plan.
The information's not available to the mortal man.
We're working our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're sailing down the highway
When in fact we're slip-sliding away.
"

And elsewhere, "After changes upon changes we are more or less the same, after changes we are more or less the same."
