"Who you gonna call"? Do you remember that line from the movie Ghostbusters? If you are in trouble would you call on Richard Dawkins god who he claims is, "Petty, sadomasochistic, vindictive, and genocidal"? Or maybe you'd call on the Thomas Jefferson god that he described as "Cruel, vindictive (there's that word again), capricious, and unjust? Nope, not me! If one takes the Old Testament particularly as LITERAL then God is one who MILITATES whatever He wants. God is a man of war of course. God says He is jealous and when he hates his anger gets white hot. He demands that women be stoned to death for various reasons, as well as kids for being disobedient. But, this modern-day version of god is happy to supply virgins in paradise to deranged bombers who incinerate innocent women and children. Why, you'd have a hard time telling God from the Devil: I mean who wants to EVANGELIZE any of this doctrinal tripe, and nothing was even said about an eternal hell. Is there any wonder that church attendance is going down fast in America? The GOOD NEWS though is that people are still looking for the loving Spirit of God in other ways and places. We are spiritual beings and we have within us that knowing and that hunger to be connected to that which we ARE. Meister Eckhart, among other mystics, knew that we were ONE with God. "I and the Father are ONE", Jesus said. Eckhart added, "Some simple people think that they will see God as if he were standing there and they here. It is not so. God and I, we are ONE." The Old Testament has much to teach us; however, to take the words LITERALLY is to go down a road that simply is a DEAD end! Don't go there. God is love and the devil is a metaphor for our stinking thinking or EGO!
