"I don't write to God no more. I write to you. What happened to God? ast Shug. Who that? I say" (192).
Celie begins to feel resentful towards God because she imagines him as an old white man in the sky who does not care about her just like all the other white males she has encountered. However, Shug helps her to develop a new god. She reminds Celie that she has been blessed with "life, good health, and a good woman that love you to death." Shug encourages Celie to find god in nature. She tells her to not imagine God as the stereotypical white man, but rather an "it."
