Relationship - "a state involving MUTUAL dealings between people or parties or countries"
Religious people are always talking about their relationship with God. Religious leaders are always preaching about how to improve your relationship with God. Endless seminars and tapes and books are written on the subject.
Funny thing is...relationship implies a mutuality. I would love to claim that Penelope Cruz is my girlfriend and we have a relationship, except for one little problem...theres no mutuality. In fact, if I take it too far, and tell everyone that we have a relationship...maybe mix in some stalking, I could find myself in the looney bin. So why do we not look at religious people who claim to have a relationship with a non-existant personal God with the same increduelity as we would a Hollywood stalker?
Wheres the mutuality between you and God?
"Well he talks to me in certain cryptic encoded ways."
"Yea, so does Peneolpe".
