We have come face to face with Religion-without-God; it is like a land fill of kerygma and arbitrary fatwas. We seek instead to realize the God-beyond-Religion of a world theology. Far from being a rejection of ritual and dogma, it is a continued and/or intensified conversation with God using both the interpersonal language of specific worship and praise of the Strains of Faith, as well as the communal language of Thou (a language that incorporates and permeates both the Abrahamic and the Dharmic, the pagan and the nontheist). The glint of Divinity, breathing between the words of man’s subjective experience as manifested in the Texts, is the expressible and (at least somewhat) intelligible pathos of God manifesting itself. The outcome of any task completed with a tool is undeniably shaped in some way by the condition of the tool; a comb with missing eyes is less adequate in solving the issue of tangled hair. Likewise, the expression of Ineffable pathos is shaped and made subjective by the human being who utters such.
