Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

we have no idea what God is any more than we know about alien life forms in another galaxy. If we could actually relate to God, God would be no more than we are, and not worthy of higher respect any more than any earthly life form.

That, in a nutshell, is the prevailing Quaker view and we don't waste our time defining God or anything else we can't observe or understand. We do, however, see evidences of God's will, although that is personal experience and not really translatable to common language.

"God is dead" is a fascinating lead-in for discussions, and pretty much depends on defining death. Is death simply the lack of communication, or the ultimate disappearance of an entity from all existence everywhere? Or something in between?
