Thanks for the response, Clint - we agree.

For the majority of people, the anthropomorphic nature of religion means that we see God as "a better me". Infinitely better perhaps, but it's that "me" that bothers me, inevitable though it is. Because it leads us to ascribe will similar to ours, and makes it easy for those who want to twist it to mean "if I want this, God therefore must want this". Some of the Bush apologists are already doing this.

In the end, most of us (myself included) choose the God that "suits us". And though I too make that mistake, I cannot help but feel the logic is flawed.
