Thought it would be worth putting the main tomorrows Gods points online.

1. Tomorrows God does not require anyone to believe in God.
2. Tomorrows God is without gender, size, shape, colour, or any of the characteristics of an individual living being.
3. Tomorrows God talks with everyone all of the time.
4. Tomorrows god is separate from nothing, but is Everywhere Present, the All in All, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Sum total of Everything that ever was, is now and ever shall be.
5. Tomorrows god is not a singular Super Being, but the extraordinary process called Life.
6. Tomorrows God is ever changing.
7. Tomorrows God is needless.
8. Tomorrows God does not ask to be served, but is the servant of all Life.
9. Tomorrows God will be unconditionally loving, non-judgemental, non-condemning and non-punishing.

So is there something in there for us? Is it just New Age Mass consciousness nonsense? Is it what Jesus taught, or where he was leading us?

As for me, even through my regular church going I've always sensed God leading me toward the more positive aspects of The Bible. Me and Tom had a chat about wether it was right or not just to accept the 'good stuff' and filter about the 'bad stuff'. I've always asked the question 'Does this belief serve me, and does it serve others?' If it doesn't, then I ditch it. What's the point in holding onto it? Life is too short.

But then I am a bit of romantic in most things J

I've never known a God that focuses on the dark parts of me, but instead has always drawn out the light and beauty that's on the inside of everyone. I couldn't believe in a God that doesn't embrace everyone, right here right now. And that we are all a part of that, in our own ways.

I've also been more and more impressed by the fact that God is within all of us, and all things. I don't think it helps us at all to see Him (her it) as separate in any way shape or form.

One (for me) very exciting upshot came from the conversation, and that was to have an evening in The Cross where we invite mates to share what they really believe, and what spiritual experience (if any) they have had. What has served them? What hasn't? I believe most people want to share this in a mutually accepting environment, and it would be class to do this over a few beers. I'm well up for it.
