Many people believe that their god lives in specific buildings or objects, rather than suffusing the very environment. I do not believe that we can trap gods in bricks and mortar, paint, carved wood or worked metal - just as I do not believe in being only able to invoke the past by living lives that are some replica of past lives. As a result I do not have to live to feel guilty passing from the traditional to the modern, or vice versa, everything is human expression.
A big block for my local religion is the reliance on rote - the same old images, the same old words, and no potential for much to be added to the sum. I am looking for some fresh images, ones which speak to people like me rather than having to live with those that speak to other people.
