One of John's favorite quotes is:"â[One]who has never tried to flee God has never experienced the God who is really God⦠For there is no reason to flee a God who is the perfect picture of everything that is good in man⦠who is simply the universe, or the laws of nature, or the course of history⦠who is nothing more than a benevolent father, a father who guarantees our immortality and final happiness. Why try to escape from someone who serves us so well? No, those are not pictures of God, but rather of man trying to make God in his own image and for his own comfort.â
-- Paul Tillich".
