Why produce new metaphors when we can subvert ones we already know are compelling?
For it is written: The Word of God is not a voice from on High but the whispers of our hopes and desires. God’s existence is but His soul, which does not have material substance but resides in our hearts and the Human spirit. Yet this is not God’s eternal condition. We are commanded: for the God without a home, make the universe His home. For the God without a body, make Him a body with your own hands. For the God without a mind, make Him a mind like your mind, but worthy of a god. And instill in this mind, in this body, in this universe the soul of God copied from your own heart and the hearts of your brothers and sisters. The Ancients dreamed that God had created the world only because they could not conceive that the world would create God. For God is not the cause of our humility but the unfulfilled aim of our ambition. So learn about the universe so that you may build God a home, learn about your mind so you may build a better one for God, learn about your hopes and desires so that you may give birth to your own savior. With God incarnate will come the Kingdom of God and eternal life.

This is reminding me of Stross’s ReMastered’s “unborn god”...
