Quote:2) Interest in the nature of the relationship between me and it. Interest in what-it-is. Interest in the nature of the relationship between it and everything else. Interest in what that means for me.So, academic interest? Yeah, sure, that's all the interest I'd have in an existent god as well. When's the last time you thanked oxygen for all it's done for you, or wondered what it wanted for your life? Prayed to it, of late? Build any buildings to it, or sit in the pews? Cast it's vote at the ballot box? Wondered what it all -means-, for you, by reference to it?
Any of that?
