WHERE IS GOD?

Instead about asking theological questions about who God is or what is God doing, let us discuss God’s location.
The biblical world-view is based on a three-tiered structure – there’s Heaven, then Earth where we are, and Hell, the underworld below our feet. Everybody knows where God is in this vertical structure.
Christianity has a holy elevator, and also an elevator operator who has special hands and special knowledge to operate the elevator. God, who is sitting up there, puts stuff in the elevator and sends it down to us (such as a sacred text and a list of rules) and which is taken out by the operator and given to the people. Eventually, we are all ushered into the elevator and the operator reaches around the corner to press the down button or up button depending upon weather we have followed the rules.
But this is no longer the structure of the universe! The modern structure of the universe starting with the big bank and the continuing movement outwards, needs to be taken into consideration. Where then is God? Perhaps he/she/it is everywhere and we are all connected. God is within all of us.
