So now that we are no longer bound by the mind matter dualism but are facing a resurgent metaphysics based on emergence and vertical and horizontal pluralism(i.e. different levels of being: physics, chemistry, biology, psych, culture all with their own emergent and unique proporties and seperate non reducible ontology) and religion is coming back to the forfront as a driving force should we update our understanding of god as well? In what way?
After all, god is a personification, a literary subject through which we express our frustrations or that stands for the powers which we cannot control or cannot make sense of.
The ancient personal addressing towards problems in personified form might still have a place as long as we set the rules of interaction with such god or gods properly as a result of our contemporary understanding of the world.
