God and Energy (The nature of a \'Creator\')

GATEKEEPER: Yes, my stance is confusing. Like a child going through his/her room looking for a particular set of socks. I use "child" because that is how I see humans when we try and describe "god". I have a 7yr old. Ask her to describe me. Then ask my brother. They both are right.-Not sure about the sock image, since there's something solid at the end of the quest (ugh maybe scented too). Not sure about the description of you either, since both your daughter and your brother have direct experience of you. But I do like the "child" image. We're all trying to understand something that we simply do not have the ability, the tools, or the range of perception and experience to understand. It's clear from the six and a half years in which we've been discussing these issues that ALL stances are confusing (which is why I remain agnostic). But we don't stop, and we learn a great deal on the way. And we sometimes have fun too.
