The theologians and philosophers treat God like they were friends at a party who spend so much time speaking about him that he never properly gets introduced, left in the foreground smiling, waiting patiently. The pastors and religious community, on the other hand, introduce God with an outdated, pedestrian attire that they've forced upon him for hundreds and even thousands of years, like starstruck sorority girls who say between warbles of bubbly praise that he's someone who's been dying to meet you, and someone you should really get to know, you know.
How hard it is to find someone with a heart and mind fully dedicated to God, and how large and perpetually growing the population is who would be receptive to hearing him spoken of in this way! Could this in part account for the rise in unbelief in America we've seen creep upon us, from 8% to 15% over the past twenty years?
