The ancient man approached God (or even the gods)as the accused person approaches his judge. For the modern man the roles are reversed. He is the judge: God is in the dock.

But the important thing is that Man is on the bench and God is in the dock.

As I have come to realize that we all live and move and have our being in God, the names of each person, species, creature, and element are superimposed over God's name.

It isn't like God is everywhere except in your billfold. In fact, God is everywhere.

It is one of the ironies of religious history that many mortals err in their understanding of the nature of God and end up rejecting not the real God but their own erroneous and stereotypical image of God.
