Some additional prose:

"Thoughts IN-God", it is a presentation of an atheistic approach to theology (aka pan-en-theism).  Basic premise is that God cannot be mediated; God is IMmediate.  That is, all of known reality, mental and physical, provides a direct, unified, and immediate experience in God.

Likewise Jesus is not our mediator per se, Jesus is our Messiah because he announced that religious law (while perhaps pragmatically useful) can never really mediate our immediate place in God.  Only faith can show us how/"where" and what God is.  i.e., God is not a divine person that one can objectify, blame or make appeals to, rather God is a divine presence that can be lived in to.

So, everything is IN God, and everything in God (even bad stuff) can, according to Jesus, be found OF God, if we can learn how to see it and hear it.

Anyway...  I'm trying to make this blog more friendly and creative rather than controversial.  There are of course other ways to support humanistic thought and ethics, this is just a theological one based around a form of atheism.
