Keeping God small

God is limited by the imagination of his believers, even as religion forces limits on the imagination.
"Faith is more important than knowledge."
Religion tells us to have faith above reason. It tells us not to question religion, and not to question anything which might lead to a question of religion.
The imagination of believers is stunted by not questioning, which in effect reduces their god to the constraints of mindless dogma and makes him a finder of lost keys and a giver of touchdowns.

The imagination is kept too small to form any questions that might show religious flaws.
Anything outside of dogma is conveniently and unthinkingly explained with, "God is too vast to comrehend."

Those who created Christianity had to steal most of it from Judaism and various previous religions because even they lacked the imagination to have an original thought.

Except in rare cases, imagination and religions do not mix well, and that's probably a good thing.
Just look at what was done with L. Ron Hubbard's invented religion!
Give some humans half a chance to believe without questioning and they will willingly enslave themselves.

I must admit, I don't understand these people. I love some of them, but I don't understand this voluntary slavery.
