Craig,

Yes, I do believe most Christians would have a radical shift in their perception of God too, but because they begin with a baseline of belief, I think a modification of their concept would not be nearly as radical an experience as it would be to someone who denies the very existence of God.

Reminds me of an experience I had as a child. One summer my Boy Scout troop made a trip to the Grand Canyon. In the nights before we left I would lie awake thinking about it--imagining what it would look like, how big it would be . . . Finally, we made the trip and when I finally stood on the South Rim and saw its immensity, its full glory, I was speechless. Yes I had believed there was a Grand Canyon, but whoa nellie it really was a grand canyon!

Imagine my reaction had I begun my journey west denying the Grand Canyon even existed. . .

Rick
