Picturing God

Every culture through its artists has found the need to picture God. Each of us carries such a picture of some sort. We may have chosen it, or it may have been given us by culture or religious education or some other means.

Try creating a picture of God on your own. It's not easy. This is my try.

Imagine every human being connected to every other human being in a tolerant, respectful relationship. This impossibly complex web is my image of God. This God would be omnipresent and omni-powerful and omni-impossible to attain. But it's built on the Golden rule, which is the core of all the major religions.
