Elephant, elephant on the wall, who is the biggest mirror of them all?

What if the elephant in the room is that there is no elephant in the room? People speak of "god" as an out there sort of thing, something separate and distinct from themselves. In fact, some spend hours talking about "god" abstractly and in third person. It's like we are trying to create distance between who we are and who we think we ought to be. What if they are one in the same?
