Can you define your concept of God tightly enough to satisfy your belief but widely enough to protect your comfort zone?
Maybe not phrased well but I'm sure you get the idea.

I'm not sure that I'm going to answer your question directly, Bryn, but I'm going with what it evoked in me....
My concept of God is scattered. It's as if the more I want to know, the more I have to let go of and the less I know...no comfort zone there. And I wonder, is there any belief either? I don't know. But there's a sense of something, mysterious and unfathomable, that doesn't desert me, but which doesn't lend itself to patenting.
