strange how we've made God

strange how we've made God
into our image and likeness,
when we were definitely taught
it was the other way around.

Hi Jack,
That explains why there are so many "versions" of God, and so many religions claiming to be "the" religion. Personally, I believe that all religions are man-made, and that whatever God may be, it is the good inside each and every one of us. Your poem makes a person think.

I'm a Christian and can definitely relate to this one. If there were no God, I would have blown my brains out long ago. But that's a different subject. You make me think.

Your poem also makes me think on a level that's deeper than the physical. We sometimes try to make God into what we want the rules to be.

I just erased a long, rambling thought. This is so cool, Jack. Four lines, and I could talk about it all night long. Excellent poem.
