The concept of God is supposed to be a mind encompassing the Cosmos, but many religious people insist on a god limited to a particular sex, a particular name, a particular form (after the image of man), who prefers particular nations in war, particular athletes in sport, and particular pairings and positions in sex. They insist on a god as small as they are.
