Chasing the Red Dot

She will never catch it, because it isn’t even a thing

Years ago, my daughter said that to her, a human trying to figure out what god is, is a lot like her kitten chasing the laser pointer. The kitten has no idea what the red dot on the wall is, but she is compelled by it and can’t resist it and continues to chase it. She will never catch it, because it isn’t even a thing, but she keeps trying anyway.

That seems like pretty accurate theology to me.
