First write out the worst god you can possibly imagine – judgement, punishment, only wants the worst for you. At the bottom write “most of this is how I see God”
Then set the sheet aside – And take a second piece of paper – Write out the most ideal God you can conceive of – love, justice, kindness, forgiveness, 100 times more loving than the most loving father you can imagine. At the bottom of that sheet write – “This conception of God is only a tiny fraction of the kindness and magnificence of the real God but I’m limited in my vision to imagine it, and yet this is the God I am willing to have, all I have to do is put down the other idea of God.”
