We've all read the stories that more than 90 percent of Americans believe in God. But that doesn't mean everybody believes in quite the same God. This is fascinating:
NINE in ten Americans believe in God but how they vote, or regard the Iraq war, depends on the very different views they have about His personality, according to a detailed survey of religion in the US.
It found that Americans hold four different images of God — Authoritarian, Benevolent, Critical or Distant — and these views are far more powerful indicators about their political, social and moral attitudes than any of the traditional categories such as Protestant, Catholic or Evangelical.
Of course if God is omniponent, he is all of those things and more and is, perhaps, allowing each of us to see the God we need to see. I wonder which of those Gods is the one all of those sports teams pray to so that they might win.
