Geometheology

Here is what I don't understand about god: people think that god is some perfect entity, but then they have bible stories and church decorations and even visions of the virigin mary in every corner of the globe. those things don't seem perfect to me. If god was really perfect, we wouldn't be able to interact with it, because we aren't perfect. Perfect things can't have tonsils that burst, miss three-point shots or have bad taste in music. God would need to be some kind of spherical, perfect form that we would never be able to comprehend on our plane, because we are screwed up. People always look at the god that their parents gave them, and then they compair it to the gods that other peoples have inherited and they judge them. The old gods, Loki, Anubis, Anansi, Zeus, Shiva, the Earth-Mother, Mars; they are all deemed primitive ways of interpreting natural and social phenomena. I look at the current religions and see the same thing. Floods that destroy all but the last vistages of humanity exist in Judeo-Christianity as well as Greco-Roman mythology. God's son as the saviour of mankind born from a worthy woman exists in Egyptian mythology as well. We have whole university departments that are dedicated to the study of how cultures morph and evolve, including their stories and language. It baffels me that most people don't think of religion as a part of that. They are right because they are right. they just happen to be lucky enough to be one of the small percentage of the worlds population that was introduced to the only True religion. Of all the things that these people are thankful for, they should be most thankful that they weren't born before 1 A.D. or that they weren't bron in India, China Pakistan, Nigeria, Northern Canada, North Korea, Japan, Athiest Russia, Athiest Germany, Egypt, Palestine...
