Create your own God

"Man was created in God's Image" -Somewhere in the genesis

I think people create God in their own image. I view God as a compassionate healer, because that's who I want to be. Guilt-ridden individuals often have an image of a vengeful and angry God who never forgets even a single indiscretion (i.e. a God created in the image of my mother). And small-minded ignorant racists have a God that is small-minded, willingly sending all people who aren't "just like them" to hell and eternal damnation. That God, conveniently, is just as big of a dick as the follower. I am not making a statement as to the existance of God, just towards how people personify God.
