To put an exclamation on your point (bad pun & weak metaphor) Pharaoh required the Israelites to make bricks without straw. Bricks for good bricks for evil. On metaphor I highly recommend Toba Spitzer’s recently published God is Here: Reimagining the Divine. Toba examines both how metaphor is ubiquitous & how the metaphor for God that we gravitate to profoundly influences how we think about the Divine..
I loved these insights and thoughts. Thanks for writing them. I just recommended your post on my most recent newsletter because I felt like it was relevant.
