Marcus J. Borg Quote

Many Christians basically accept the modern worldview’s image of reality and then add God onto it. God is the one who created the space-time world of matter and energy as a self-contained system, set it in motion, and perhaps sometimes intervenes in it. God becomes a supernatural being out there who created a universe from which God is normally absent. This is, as we shall see, a serious distortion of the meaning of the word God.
