Image of God

Actually, our image of God is outmoded anyway, whether the tsunami occurs or not.  Religion has become divisive, quarrelsome and idiotic.  Religion is the reason we have all this conflict in the world.  We have squeezed God into the volume of a body and the span of a lifetime; given God a male identity, and ethnic background; made him a tribal chief and gone to war.  Yet people are not ready to forsake their image of God.
