Mr. Beck said that God is our king.
I really find that type of statement insufferable.
The only "kings" that actually give out orders and have people jump that I am familiar with are those in fairy tales. So we have a metaphor of God and fairy tale entities. So much for putting aside the things of a child.
We are created free. The relationship of Man to God cannot be expressed in the same terms that we used for Caesar and his heirs. What nonsense to have labored to have escaped the catacombs of Rome, only to come up to the sunshine to be trapped in a political metaphor!
Furthermore, the blotational device known as John Haggee was there, signing us all up to go to war to defend his policy in the Middle East. If the Tea Party and its hangers-on wish to be end-times-idiots, let them find their own bit of earth to wreak their havoc.

Richard Rohr says we don't even begin to get close to understanding God until we get rid of dualistic thinking. Of course, we're not wired that way, and to achieve it takes gargantuan quantities of grace.
I am fettered in the dualism of "publish" and "delete" !
