Wow. Pulling the plug on God sounds rather drastic at first, but it's true. Must have happened in a moment of total despair and helplessness, perhaps too early to be able think of anything but the most impulsive "solution". That God seems unable to help is the most unbearable thought there is. Better no God at all, or some God image at most, something to do theology with, but please, no living God Who can't help or doesn't want to. And so the plug is pulled and the reign of fear begins in earnest.

As far is I can see, it's not this bad for all of us, but we probably all know some degree of separation as Normand says. I too believe it's over now, but for me it's not simply a question of calling off the game and going home. What about the plug? If I put it back to where it belongs, what will be left of what I came to know as me after I pulled it? True, it doesn't matter. But it does feel like having to jump from somewhere awfully high. Putting the plug back in will be the end of the reality I rigged up to replace Reality.
