I would like to submit the term "theomorphism" for review. God is Love. What we do is just enough of what Love is to help us know a little of What God is. His love is real and purse. Ours maybe has some real bits to it, but is encrusted over with junk.

And as for mercy, In civil justice mercy and justice are opposed to one another. To show mercy to someone seems almost always to deprive someone else of what is His due. But in God mercy is the perfection of Justice.

So again, I have to conclude something like that our experience of mercy, love and justice and our claiming those words to describe our experiences and actions is in a way grandiose or, "theomorphic".

Just a bagatelle. We are stuck with needing to be in the image of God and to have SOME clue about what He is, or we could talk and talk and never make any sense at all ....

(Yes yes, I know I've already achieved that ....)
