[quote=Anonymous]As an agnostic cultural Jew, I reference "the Jewish god" the same way I talk about "the Greek gods" or "the Christian god" because I don't believe there is ONE GOD that should be spoken of as such. In those contexts we are usually talking about the stories that are the reasons behind the holidays we celebrate, and god is more or less another character in the story. I am trying to pass along the idea that the concept of "god" (at least in Judaism) is more like a shorthand way of describing a framework for moral behavior. Sometimes my 7yo says she believes in god and sometimes she says she doesn't. I found this book to be a really helpful: https://www.amazon.com/Relax-Its-Just-God-Religious/dp/1941932002 [/quote]
