there is not god but the Present Instant
no matter what past has been imagined or what future is imaginable -- the only real thing is the present instant.
the Present Instant is the Most Sacred Thing.
anything else does not nexist.
if you are not existing in the Present Instant, then you do not exist.

God
doesn't change, just those who worship Him. We are in a totally different dispensation than Adam and Eve and those in the Old Testament. God deals with us slightly differently then He did back in OT times.

"I believe that the only conception of a god I can receive comes with each passing instant, with all that I encounter." Sounds pretty egotistical. Your god is how you define him depending on each passing instant, depending on what YOU encounter. Then in your opinion, god revolves around YOUR life and everything that YOU do. This perception of yours and your shifting god is just a wee bit suspect. How very convenient to make god in YOUR image.

Octavia Butler
in a series of novels, excellent by the way, has a main character who starts a religion based on the concept that God is change. (Not the coins in your pocket!)

This is a bit heavy for me, but I think I get it... No, actually I don't. But I'm there with you because their god isn't my god either. Hemlocker
