The Isolated God

 I hear Catholics say that they find God in church when they sit in front of the tabernacle.  I guess better someplace than no place. But I find it problematic.Why?  To find God in one place, opens you to NOT finding God in other places, or else why would you have to go to church to find God?  Often, the people who go to Church have no interest in ecology.  To them it is just stuff, trees, water, air.  Some such people also look upon others, with different skin color, language, or economic status as less than or not worthy of much concern.  That is why I prefer the vision of the mystic.  They have a sense of Oneness.  God is all in all.  Julian of Norwich said as much.  “It is more worship to God to behold God in all than in any special thing.”
