Eugene H. Peterson

“If we have a choice, which we do, of dealing with God or an image of God, we much prefer the image. An image of God is God customized to our requirements. We not only have the pleasure of making the image, using our wonderful imagination and skills in creative ways, but also of controlling it. The image is a god with all the God taken out of it so that we can continue to be our own gods.”
