"God might look differently to different people" ~ Darin Hufford

Video commentary:

Darin grew tired of trying to convince others to believe the way he did. His realization: What if God looks differently to different people?

I have checked out the above video, and I like Darin Hufford’s sharing about how God might look differently to different people, as each person’s view of God depends on one’s upbringing, culture, personal experiences in life, and so on. So, if the truth be known, if there are currently 7 billion people on this planet, we will also have at least 7 billion views of God. Each person’s perception of God therefore is different and unique in some aspects, and no two persons’ views of God may be exactly the same in every single aspect.

The video also observed rightly that “in Christianity, we’ve made God the same with everybody” because mainstream christianity tends to endeavour to preach or impose on people a one-size-fits-all version of God and expect everyone to conform to a rigid and dogmatic version of God, and we know it is a futile exercise because even among christian denominations, there are so many different versions of God that even those who profess to be atheists can’t help but be amused or bemused by the sheer amount of inconsistencies of the various christian doctrines.
