Nietzche wrote that man created God in his own image. And that makes a world of sense. I, in no way, discount the Divine. Though moralistic fundamentalists of the Christian traditions feeling the need or right to adamantly claim it is their way or the highway is disturbing. Other traditions don't view it that way - that THEY are the only ones who are right. That is mostly unique to Christians. And they get a hard time for it.
