But is it as straightforward as that? If I say the word “flower” I may imagine this small white one in a pot on my desk, but you may immediately see a tall hollyhock in a spacious garden. “Flower” doesn’t necessarily always mean the same thing to everyone. So you need to be clear about the word “God”. Some who “believe in God” don’t believe in the same God others have rejected!

The point is this. Grappling with “God questions” is a good thing to do – because God questions lead towards things that matter about the life we have. They’re “top” questions – and need to be taken on all the time. Somehow we human beings must keep trying to get onto truth and meaning.

So it doesn’t particularly matter whether you describe yourself as believing in God or not. What matters is that we talk together and try to get on further with the search. Mmmm?
