There is a lot of stress in the world over how different people do or do not understand God.  Has it occurred to anyone that the way we each understand God has more to do with how God has chosen to reveal himself to us than what we conceive of God?  Perhaps the reason the scientist is at peace with his conception of an intelligent universe but does not believe in a God creator is because God has chosen to reveal herself that way to the scientist?  Whose to say just because lots of people conceive of God as a being of creation who has watches over us makes us right and everyone who does not have the same conception wrong?  How is it that we do not trust whatever conception we have of God which brings us peace and allows us to operate with love in the world is enough for us?  Why must it be the same for others?  When we are in alignment with whatever conception we have of God in such a way that allows us to grow in love and create harmony among our fellows and our world, how is this wrong?  Is it more right that we have a conception of God that makes us afraid to grow and be who we are because God will judge as right or wrong when we die?  If my conception of God is one that leads me to focus primarily on my faults and doing things perfectly because I am somehow inherently flawed, is that truly what my heart conceives of God or is it the world’s conception?  These are questions our hearts draw us to ask.
