DEISM:SHOULD GOD RETURN?

if god came down into the middle of our world ... into the middle of history ... into the middle of your life ... into the center of your consciousness right now ... what would you do ... how can you answer that question with only this amount of information ... wouldn't you first need to know how ... they say see paris and die ... no no there is an older saying and truer ... see god and die ... who could survive his absolute presence ... unless it was mitigated ... unless it was moderated ... which brings us to the question how ... the answer is quick and easy ... modified to fit the mode of our nature ... not just that we may see god and survive ... but that we may survive to a purpose ... which is to express god's self-revelation to us ... tempered in the wind that informs us ... tempered in the fire of our own essence and existence to tell it ... tell it like it is to anyone who will listen ... that's the vocation we all share on one of the easy assumptions in history that we can make ... the enlightenment made a mistake ... deism ... not born of its despair but prior to its birth rising with its conception ... giving birth through pride to horror
