That, ISTM, is really what talk about God is. 'God' need not be some supernaural 'other' who is outside the universe looking in and changing things, 'God' can equally mean something within us and between us, something that is an integral part of us, both as individuals and in community. 'God' need not be a powerful creator of galaxies and planets, but rather a creative power whithin us that changes the world to be a better place.

And who said that God has to be "an 'other' who is outside the universe looking in", Martin?  Suffice for now - but this is partly why I want to take the discussion out of this thread on Scripture, to a new one on the nature of God, etc.
