But of course, people who cannot live with uncertainty do create God in their own image. All you have to do is look around at all the incompatible versions of God that infest this website. Gods that think poor people should be driven from public places, gods that think Mexicans “don’t assimilate, they contaminate,” gods that think it would be a good idea to nuke Mecca, gods that give scriptures to individuals on gold tablets but take them back before the rest of us can see them, ditto for stone tablets.
By your standards it is irrational to look for regularities in the universe that all people who look can see, but rational to trust personal revelations that divide people, and lead to wars and schisms.
