God is only as small as we draw Him/Her -- in little boxes. Making Him/Her
in our own image.
Imago Dei in reverse.
Let's back up a bit.
Is there anyone on this list who believes that they are the most powerful
force in the universe?
For anyone who does not believe that, I suggest that if you are not the most
powerful force in the universe, there must be a force more powerful than
you. Logic 101.
So. You wanna name that force when referring to it. Do you say "Higher
Power"? "God"? "Master of the Universe"? etc.
If you are truly the most powerful force in the universe, I'd like to hear
from you -- I have some requests.
