An author that has my respect and has been generally acknowledged for his intelligence and great breadth of knowledge chooses to identify himself as a Christian. He spoke recently that our concept of a god is likely to be so much smaller than what may be the truth. He posed the proposition that "god" is *all* that there is. As difficult as that concept may be to comprehend, I think there is much for the "intelligent" person to consider.

I think that there is something far larger than our current conceptions of a god. The theists may sense that "something" and will not willingly throw their beliefs aside if they become a minority. For myself, I attempt to be respectful of all beliefs.
