     As finite creatures who are aware of our finitude    
       we seek some sense of transcending our finitude    
         through that which is not finite/mortal; God.    
                                                          
     We seek to be in communion with God, to be grounded  
       in God, to influence God, to control our fate      
         through God; and we find that our seeking is     
           often incoherent, not defensible.              
                                                          
     We conceive God in different ways and are ultimately 
       concerned with the differences in how we have      
         conceived God (the ultimate reality) differently;
           and become distressed/anxious about the        
             differences in our grounds of being sure     
               of our security, hope and meaning.         
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
