I was talking with a friend today and as always happens the conversation turned to religion and his apparent search to mould the God of the Bible into the sort of god that he could believe in. This is a constant battle that he has, and it leads to a lot of heartache and blind corners. Yes, there's no reason at all why you shouldn't create your own god - men and women have been doing that for millenia. Make him/her/it in your own image by all means, but don't try and confuse that god with the God of the Bible, because you are going to be disappointed.
Part of the problem that Christians have these days is that they spend too much time trying to make God fit into the culture of today rather than helping the culture relate to God as he is, timeless, unchangeable, creator and sustainer.
