But what if the only way to follow Jesus was by relying on the same transcendent source? It is the search for a king or someone to be ruled over by that I question. If there were a god and that god created life in the hope of one day enjoying the company of another that was capable of being a true thou to Him, wouldn't he be disappointed if we settled instead on worship? I think a worthy god would rather we go wrong in our own way so that when we finally go right, it will be ourselves that have been transformed and not just the outer appearance of our behavior.
