What is God like?
This is perhaps the most important question that any man can ask. Some would put the question "Does God exist?" This too is important, and perheaps a later book in this series will deal with that question. But merely to be able to say "I believe that someone or something called God exist", to believe in some kind of God or other, does not carry us very far. Everything depends of the kind of God we believe in. There is a great deal of bad religion in the world, and in some ways it is better to have no religion at all than to have a bad one. Men tend to become like the God in whom they believe; if they believe in a bad God - one who is hard and cruel and injust - they are likely to become as bad as the God in whome they believe; and perhaps to have no God at all would be better than that.
God is life. God is light. God is love. God is spirit. Three in one and one in three.
