Future


Karl Rahner, one of our best theologians in the last century, suggested we stop using the name "God" for a while because it calls up too many wrong ideas.  He thought it would be best that it be something future like "Whither."   I don't know what the German word might be, but the English would be something like "Where To?"
In his book, What Is God, John Haught says we can think about The Divine as the infinite, inexhaustible future.
