Well, I don't mean to be defending everything Jung said about God and Gnosticism here. I was just surprised to learn that Jung interpreted the biblical message in this way prior to Jack Miles. The question of alienation and forgiveness is a separate, ethical matter, no? It's beside the point of whether the Bible's esoteric message--when read aesthetically as a self-contained narrative (bracketing the questions of historicity and truth)--is that God blames himself rather than just us for the state of the world.

If you prefer a Hegelian, process theology, I think you're stepping outside the Bible, which is fine. But the point I'm making here takes the biblical narrative for granted, for the sake of aesthetic, literary interpretation.
