An Authentic Fear of God

There are today many practices that try to say that it is possible to be a «believer» in harmony with our time. Of these, there are some that are experimented with, above all, for example, «interiority», but also spirituality, frequently understood as the search for something that is vaguely transcendent that, put simply, is synthesised as »the Divine». But I ask myself: why use «divine» and not simply «God»? «Divine» is a word that seems to be postulated as a good answer, I know. It seems better because it allows for a breather, a more fluid way of being. And, above all, it allows us to get out of the small boxes that the patriarchal God has been circumscribed in. At least in appearance, insofar as the fact that it is enough to allow something else to take place, and to attribute to the patriarchy all the bad that has derived from this boxing in. Also, I am very tempted to oscillate between the two words. But, in the end, I continue attached to God. In this article I explain why.
