POD: GOD NOT EXPECTED

We so often anthropomorphize God into something of a projection, i.e. putting Him into a box so we can deal... even our language does this, as I just showed.  So... how can we live knowing the ship is sinking, and about sunk and we are all drowning in sorrow and pain?  How can we continue knowing it's already over?  How can we deal knowing there are no options left on the table.  Two ways to go, one is real the other is a fantasy.
