Every morning, I take a long walk. While I walk, I smoke a cigar. I do my best thinking while walking and puffing. Since thought does not come easily to me, I have to smoke large cigars, but never mind.
Halfway through this morning’s cigar, just like clockwork, I had a thought…
[Uh oh.]
I was thinking about God [No wait! Come back!] and it occurred to me that cases are important. You know, lower-case and upper-case.
Yeah, even I think that sounds ridiculous. But wait a minute.
It makes no difference if you’re particularly religious or not, whenever we think about God—if we think of Him at all—we all do the same thing: we color our picture of Him in the light of our own experiences and outlook. This is natural. Where we run afoul of the truth and create problems for ourselves and others, is when we imagine God to be like the person in the mirror.
