It may be time to get rid of your God. That sounds radical, but if your idea of "God" is damaging, disempowering, and destructive, then Rav Kook would suggest you stop believing.

Not all beliefs are good beliefs. Some—many—are incorrect, harmful, and highly problematic. Similarly, not all atheism is bad atheism. Some ideas of God—many—should be denied and rejected. Rav Kook teaches us about the right kind of atheism and the wrong type of faith.

God should uplift, not degrade; inspire, not depress; love, not hate. If you find God to be a negative force in your life, then tune in for Rav Kook's solution of healing and growth.
