this says about god.

from 4 or 5 experiences of god.

good, that if we resist this we suffer.

*Joe in a conversation with a rabbi: Jewish scholarship and the ambiguous god.  Believing in something with no rational support because it is comforting.  A child frightened in a room who believes in nearby parents as an analogy for man and god.  No atheists in foxholes re-re-interpreted.  What one does when confronted with the face of the absurd.
