You’ve Created God In Your Own Image

You’ve Created God In Your Own Image

Well, this hits the nail on the head.

In fact, if you find yourself assuming that God hates – anyone – it might be time to rethink it all.

You are heading in the wrong direction.

For there sure is a lot we don’t know.

But this we do:

God and hate are two ideas that don’t belong together.

…you can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

–Anne Lamott, Bird By Bird
