Topic: spirituality
The depth of Thomas Doyle's address just continues to unfold as I meditate on what he said in a few moments in the final address at SNAP. One expansion to my thinking about "worshipping graven images" came when he suggested that we fail to arrive at a place of liberation when we worship someone else's image of God rather than our own.
In man-made religions, that's exactly what happens. We give our allegiance to others' images of God, we fail to develop our own ability to discern who God is on our own--something that I believe any mature person is capable of doing by filtering out what obviously doesn't contribute to spiritual health. Obvious to those with common sense, anyway.
