Alex's comment: This is the critical question facing RN. UU might be able to contribute here.
"Should We Talk About God?...If we continue to use the term "God" we will have difficulty escaping from the mythic traditions in which that concept is used."
Alex's comment: Agreed. The term "God" has been rendered meaningless as the mythical worldview from which the concept was brewed is no longer used nowadays.
