Did God create us or did we create God?

I ran across an article about how our beliefs tend to be God’s beliefs and I thought I would post a few snippets and see what you think.

Nicholas Epley, professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, led the research, which included a series of survey and neuroimaging studies to examine the extent to which people's own beliefs guide their predictions about God's beliefs.

Where Indiana’s Heart is or what to do with Indiana’s meth heads

I wrote this last year at www.myspace.com/saveperu in response to Peru, In’s meth problem. I thought I would repost it here because Peru’s meth problem is really Indiana’s Meth problem.


Actions speak louder than words
There is a proverb that states, "Where your treasure is. There is your heart."
The meaning is simple. What you spend most of your money, time, thoughts, and energy on is what you care about the most. Even if you claim otherwise.
A lot of times we claim that we value our fr… Continue

you are referring to the Hippie Jesus. That is a classic example. Christian beliefs, icons, traditions, and teachings are driven more by politics of the organized church than believers realize or will admit. Some people like the Hippie Jesus, while…
