Breaking up with God

I found this piece over on Huffington Post very interesting. It's written by a woman who throughout her life has struggled with her relationship with G-d, even hearing a calling to become an Episcopal priest. As of her writing this post, she and G-d are no longer together.

My relationship with and opinion of G-d has always been ambivalent. I'm grateful that my sponsoring rabbi specifically said that belief in G-d wasn't a requirement of conversion. Sometimes I long for the security of a firm belief in a deity with specific characteristics, but then I remember that that way lies fundamentalism in its unpleasant sense, and I don't want to go there.
