What is God?
from The Ten Thousand Things Hosted by Sam Ellis Joe Loh
Sam and Joe kick off the new year by discussing a quote from Joseph Campbell: People say they believe in God. God is a metaphor for a mystery that absolutely transcends all human categories of thought. Even the categories of being and nonbeing. Those are categories of thought. I mean it's as simple as that.
