“C.S. Lewis puts it well in The Screwtape Letters. The veteran demon describes a Christian at prayer: If you examine the object to which he is attending, you will find that it is a composite object containing many … ingredients. There will be [e.g.] images derived from pictures of [Christ] as He appeared during … the Incarnation…. I have known cases where what the [person] called his “God” was actually located … inside his own head…. [Such a Christian will be] praying to it—to the thing that he has made, not to the Person who has made him.17 This, I think, is the unintended truth of the slogan of Jesus as one’s “personal savior.” He is a different savior in the eye of every beholder. Your personal savior is customized a bit differently from mine. He doesn’t have all the same options.”

“How could a deity competent enough to create this Universe — if he/she/it has any interest of being known or listened to — be such a massively poor”

“People must be able to reconstruct their own pattern of meaning, regardless of what it looks like or how long it takes—it simply must be all their own. Experiencing depression or numbness is normal during this phase of recovery (Winell 23). I have had clients who have even gone so far as to describe it by saying, “I don’t feel alive.” Losing a former faith story means losing the meaning-making method by which a person made sense of their life and the world around them.”
