Searching For God Knows what 1

This is here to stay - I'm currently reading this book which though, very informally written makes a lot of sense. Here's a couple of issues(& funnies) I found -

'' My friend Penny's dad says he thinks God was angry for a while after the Fall, then got over it, sent His Son, and now is pretty well adjusted and forgiving...John pointed out that it takes God hundreds of years to finally get angry enough to lay any sort of punishment on His enemies. He's like France in that way."

The author continues about how people try to create God in their image..and try to define him..he talks of one conservative acquaintance...

'His Jesus was just an invention of his imagination, someone who more or less justified his position concerning a lot of different political opinions. Sitting there listening to him made me feel tired. People like that should have an island.'
