Sanity Check Posted 1 hour ago God is powerful and terrifying. A common practice to distance oneself from these harsh realities is the introduction of middle men: God -> Saints -> Radio Preachers -> Television Preachers -> Pastors/Preachers in church -> Average Joe Which is not unlike people attempting to construct walls between themselves and God. God -> Saints (Wall) -> Radio Preachers (Wall) -> Television Preachers (Wall) -> Pastors/Preachers in church (Wall) -> Average Joe . To have something resembling a relationship with God might require something similar to the following: God -> Saints (Wall) -> Radio Preachers (Wall) -> Television Preachers (Wall) -> Pastors/Preachers in church (Wall) -> Average Joe God -> Average Joe ... Interestingly, the way people relate to God is often identical to how they relate to everything in this world. As the world changes and many of these middle men are perceived as being increasingly less trustworthy and reliable. God -> Average Joe Will become more normalized. Which over the long run will only give people more reasons to have a more personal and direct relationship with God. Win/win/win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
