Absolutely, which is why I have disengaged myself from the right wing of the party. I think we lose much in our witness when we claim to know without a doubt that God would be a right wing Republican on social, moral and economic issues. And face it: without saying so in so many words, the right wing proclaims that loud and clear.
God has been Hi-Jacked so many times....I can't even begin to count....
“Gott Mit Uns” in relief on the face of a Nazi belt buckle comes to mind.
Like you I marvel at the precision that people can apply in conjuring up their description of God. My spiritual formation was anchored by a definition that had us accept God as sacred mystery. Someone pressed the professor to explain what "sacred mystery" really means. He said it means we don't know, but we hold sacred what we do not yet fully comprehend. The same person asked the professor about people who insist they have a deep knowledge of of God's intention. I remember his answer like it was yesterday. He said, they may be deluded. More likely they are just lying to themselves and others.
