» pink101 - What Is It We Look For In God?

.
We are born into a society that is inudated in talk about God. A drive down streets in most cities and towns of the United States shows our interest in godliness--churches of every size and material reflection, humble as well as many with auspicious displays of grandiosity. Our politicians stumble over each other to impress their possible constituents with their belief and faith in God the Almighty.
.
But, what is it that WE look for in God? And, does what we want in God have anything to do with what God has been made to be in our thinking? What makes sense to us as the various groups provide us with their offerings of what and who God is? What do we want to see in any view of God before we will accept it?
.
Is this the kind of question we can approach with any legitimacy? Or is it an example thinking that is forbidden from human beings. Do we have the right to question our own thoughts about God?
