Week 5- Cobb Chapter (Images of God)
Cobb rightly exegetes our culture. My generation engenders feelings of God-pity as opposed to earlier generations of God-hate. In essence, our media portrayals of God are self-projections. Thus God is a lonely and lost individual who is uncertain of reality, but more importantly is uncertain of himself. Interestingly enough, while we reject traditional sources of authority concerning Godself, we readily absorb the teachings of our media which "reveal" to us the nature of deity.

"while we reject traditional sources of authority concerning Godself, we readily absorb the teachings of our media which "reveal" to us the nature of deity."
Good point.
