judgement vs happiness?

has fear of universal judgement been replaced by a demand for equal happiness?

how to feel life is a "pilgrimage"...

...when most all of the traditional supports for "God" lie in ruins?

pilgrimage, bildung and shopping

the old, mostly-forgotten and/or ignored idea that we are "strangers and pilgrims" (cf. eg Epistle to the Hebrews 11.13) in this world, is in fundamental contrast to the dominant ethos of eg "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", and even more so to the unexamined occupation of consumer shopping to pass the time.
"pilgrimage" and bildung are related, if they have differing ideas of man at their cores.

is "God" an "It"?

if a person would speak of "God", as a being, an entity, which one speaks about, but one does not want to use "It", nor the traditional "He", not the equalizing "She", then how is one to speak of "God". "It" just does not seem right, and the other two are limited by our human condition.

"Thou" would be a form of direct address, but the question here is to find a "pronoun" that would allow one to speak appropriately about the, at least, imagined "Being" that is called "God".
