Man uses himself as a yardstick by which he measures all other things. He/she tends to apply human attrubutes to that which is not human thereby limiting his/her own perspective. The Bible says that God created man in his own image. But, the bible was written by man. It stands to reason that perhaps man created God in his own image.

"No more unreliable device"...Agreed! The real challange lies in approaching a subject with an o-p-e-n mind.

Mast,

So you are saying that the "christian church" worships God irrationally?

Mast,

Assuming there is a god/s would you say that he/she/it is/are rational or irrational?

if god does exist, it is logical to assume he is free of all the irrational human vices of anger and hatred. but is not love irrational as well?
