Why the gods remain stuck in time.

[Muffled]

Many theistic religions today base themselves around ancient mythology and lore, made to come alive through numerous tales of mythical exploits and adventure by those who tell and have told, handing down stories conceived in written long ago.

Today, people don't experience first hand those types of living Gods reminiscent of which oftentimes has been described in it's mythical origin. It makes for the God's to be stuck in time.

People live vicariously through many books and traditions by which the Gods dwelling within are are helplessly and hopelessly trapped within its timeless pages with little hope of the Gods ever escaping them.

What else is a theist going to do in order demonstrate effectedly that its not metaphor or mythology?

Is it ever bothersome to have Gods that doesn't respond and cannot speak or do anything?

I believe it is not a problem for the Christian because God speaks as the Paraclete and performs miracles also.

Well, they can do what I do and leave the old tomes behind?

I spend most of my time with contemporary study and experience of the gods, not with the back-when. Part of that is because I have a hard time getting into the old tales. They are distant and remote to me. Being mindful of the gods as I walk to and from work each day, on the other hand, is immediate and visceral.

I believe being mindful of them and having them speak or do things are two very different things.

I am not certain I understand the importance of the OP.

I wrote a novel about modern times. Even one hundred years from now, the specifics of what is written in that novel will be stuck in the past. That is how we understand time.

Maybe someone will read that novel in one hundred years and connect with it on a certain emotional or psychological level, but it will not make what is written in that novel relevant to the year 2117 any more than god from the bible is relevant to us now.

The god of the bible was created for the time period in which the concept existed, but what authors tend to fail to understand is that even though the work itself may achieve immortality, in no way does the concept survive relevance through time.

I believe some things written are archaic but a gret deal is relevant and God is always relevant.

I believe that is patently false. God is the uncreated.
