Over and above the creedal formulas and the councils, the theological treatises and the official prayer books of the official religions, which labor over what, settling important questions like the filioque debate, God is how, not a what. God is the passion of life, the pasion of my life, the passion of my unknowing, my passion for the impossible. God is served in spirit and in truth, not in propositions. That we learn from a reliable source, a Jewish prophet with a taste for giving the Jews hell (holy hell) for their infidelities. You who turn justice to wormwood, who trample on the poor and push aside the needy, had best take care about calling for the day of the Lord, Amos warns them in his memorable fifth chapter, let you get more than you bargained for. [...] Amos, I think, was among the first to propose the idea of “religion without religion”, which means more justice and fewer burnt offerings and solemn assemblies. For Amos, the name of God is the name of justice, and justice is not a thought but a deed, and its truth is attained only in doing the truth, in making justice happen in truth. (John D. Caputo "On Religion")
