In the first part of this series, I introduced the idea of God being like a travel agent who maps out our journey and then acts as tour guide to help us reach our ultimate destination. I’d like to pause a moment here before we delve into the mechanics of how that works and reflect [...]
Editor’s Note: this is the beginning of a new series I will be focusing on for the next month or so. I’m really excited about the material that will be published in the coming days. Enjoy! I am really good at going nowhere fast. I’ve perfected the art of spinning my wheels. Did it ever [...]
If God is a comfort, he’s more luxurious than fine silk or Egyptian cotton. If God is an invention, he’s more innovative than the wheel or the lightbulb or the iPod. If God is a phantom, he’s more alluring than the girl of my dreams. If God is a concept, he’s more fantastic than democracy [...]
