"We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further." ~ Richard Dawkins
So I go 'one god' further' and finally recognize that I cannot limit 'god' to what my ego is capable of grasping. The God I Know to be God is in everything, absolutely everything. There is nothing that is not God. That is a delicious form of 'atheism' and one that might put an end to 'formal' religion and herald the arrival of spirituality? Or could it be that my 'need' of specialness includes my idea of God? Does 'my God' have to be special, different, better, than yours?
