What do you mean "our" god? You do know there are many other understandings of god that are different from the mainstream stereotypical Abrahamic definition of god, right?
"God, therefore, is the one most simple essence of the entire universe"
-Nicholas de Cusa
"We shall find God in everything alike, and find God always alike in everything."
-Meister Eckhart
"The superior devotee sees that God alone has become everything...He finds that everything, above and below, is filled with God."
-Ramakrishna
"In order to attain perfect union, we must divest ourselves of God...The common belief about God, that He is a great Taskmaster, whose function is to reward or punish, is cast out by perfect love; and in this sense the spiritual man does divest himself of God as conceived of by most people."
-Henry Suso
- hackinthebochs 9y agoDo you have a substantive point, or are you just trying to be pedantic? Clearly, if your conception of god is contentless such that it's isomorphic to a basic physical substance then there is no problem. If your point was simply to point out such conceptions, well, OK, but I'm not sure why you felt the need to point that out.
