The church tries to tame God.

This is very much in line with my popular cartoon last week God at Gunpoint. It reminds me of King Kong: people attempting to control something insanely wild.

It also reminds me of something Annie Dillard wrote:

Why do we people in churches seem like cheerful, brainless tourists on a packaged tour of the Absolute?

What kind of god can be tamed?
