As I sat thinking about why so many claim to believe in God, yet don’t truly imitate Him, I realized it’s because they must believe, in an outside God. Yes, God exists everywhere. One can indeed pray to a God who lives somewhere above them. However, with that belief also comes, an unrelateable unprotected distance. To truly feel protected one can't rely on a God, who seems distant. Distance itself leaves ones being feeling vulnerable. This feeling is papable to many who have felt their Godly connection. They know they have temporarily lost their connection, when they begin to experience unhappiness. All the prayers in the world, somehow don’t close that gap.
