Quote from a book

“This new world order is based on the experience of a God who is experienced personally.  Jesus seems to be saying that God is not a philosophical system, a theory to be proven or an energy to be discussed or controlled, although we have often reduced God to such.  Jesus believes that God is a person to be imitated, enjoyed and loved.  We only seem to know God by relating to God, almost as if God refuses to be known apart from love.”

“False gods, by definition, must be appeased.  The true God needs nothing.  The true God invites us into an unthinkable communion.”

-Richard Rohr, Jesus Plan for a New World

I think this is an interesting perspective, and something to consider when observing other world views.

Is the philosophy, religion, or ideology something that needs something in order to exist, or is it a being or condition that exists beyond the confines of human conditioning?

Does our God need our worship in order to exist?
