The Church of the Possible God

Imagine God              Imagine No God

Assuming God exists, I suggest God wants us to be at the state where
we can imagine there is a God and we can imagine there is no God,
and God wants us to know that God wants us to delight in the possibility of both.

Is sure knowledge of God required for moral behaviour?
Quite the opposite.  Knowing is boring - it makes the world flat.  And people become restless.
The mystery - now that's inspiring - especially supposing God wants it to remain a mystery.
Societies organize behaviour by incentives,
No, the mystery of not knowing inspires and delights such that our innate passion to create beauty comes to the fore.
This is not to deny original sin - although someone may be inspired for some time, enthusiasm is never permanent, and moral codes are required for when we are not inspired, but to say that the effective response to sin is not the band-aid solution of moralists, the effective response is, like movement therapists

People whose bodies have adopted a shoulders-rounded-forward attitude may be told "Push your shoulders back", but that would be like doing two contrary wrongs hoping to balance at a right.  Rather than add another "doing" - another muscular exertion, release the original error.


 

I'm not sure that God didn't intend for interfaith dialogue to be part of our growth, part of our redemption process.
