Burke quotes a web journalist Tim Boucher as saying:
Religions are our attempt to give form to the Divine because we suck at contemplating infinity.
Burke adds: Religions are the nets we cast in hopes of catching God. But it's like trying to catch the sea with a net. It's much more likely that we'll just get ourselves tangled up, and god will slip through. I think god wants us to follow and imitate him as he playfully slips our nets and challenges us to reach new levels and understanding of love.
What a great image of God slipping our nets. It's like as soon as we want to trap him into any form or make up some kind of law regarding his nature, or determine that god is like... God finds a way to slip of that confine and show us that he is still in fact God. I wonder today what confines I have that he has already slipped out of as I still hold my net?
