Religious fappage, from comment

One of the givens in many religious forms that I am willing to give credence to is the whole 'the human mind will not wrap around the Highest; to do so would break it or stretch it unimaginably for that moment and there would be no coherent memory and no comprehension' concept.

Therefore, any Foo that may be worshipped by humans is not the true Foo.

Completely agreed.

One of my terms for "That Which Is" is "The Unknowable". God/s and/or goddess/s are beyond human comprehension. Thats how we got so many individual "gods" IMO, we broke It up in our heads, into little facets in order to have a better shot at wrapping our minds around it and dealing with It. And even in those little facets we really don't "get it" although it gives us a place to begin.

So while I will pray and make offerings to Guan Yin, I believe that I am addressing a small part of It that I can deal with, one that my mind associates with being able to help me in a particular situation.

That's approximately the way my brain breaks it down too.
