“If God is real, maybe the mechanisms of spiritual longing already exist all around us. Now if we could only be attune to it.”
― Tony Kriz, Aloof: Figuring Out Life with a God Who Hides

“Most of the people I know, even the very religiously oriented people, don’t really talk like they encounter God in direct and tangible ways. For the most part, we talk about God. Our conversations are full of the ideas of God. When I listen to people talk, including myself, I often find myself wondering if we even believe that God is a person. You know, a person: a dynamic and living being with thoughts, emotions, intents, and actions. Most people speak as if God is just an ideology: a set of concepts, arguments, guidelines, and categories.”
