Aren't we projecting a very limited and narrow perspective of our deity by making them into petty and easily-offended beings that are exact replicas of our sensitive and shaky self esteems? When those who have had a direct experience of spirituality, they don't get offended by any perceived misuse of the deity. Can we learn from them? Or do we think that it best serves our needs to treat our deities as small, petty projections of our own thought system?

The Key word you used is "petty." Thats a human attribute we assign to God. If God is real he has to be above such petty things as direction of praying or eating meat on certain day. I hate to think God is a petty girl who complains about every little thing. If he is like that i dont want any part of that send me to hell. I had a petty GF that was bad enough. Really if people wanna believe in God it should be private matter. No spreading there jihad to the rest of us. A petty God is just more proof that it is our limited intellect that invented him. I also dont get why religious people tell you to "fear god". Why? Is he a cruel and uncaring being that wants to sadistically torture me for eternity? oh wait according to them yes.

I've always wondered why some people spend so much time and energy defending a personal god. It makes you wonder if god was made from glass.
I agree. Also we (as humans) should be trying to go into the unknown to become explores, of the mind, self and the world.

God: i do no longer think in one guy sitting in the clouds, pulling each and all of the strings. I do besides the fact that, have self belief in the skill/uniting rigidity at the back of and interior all issues. call that "god", "existence", "the earth", despite. It only Is, and that i'm no longer one to totally understand or define it. Jesus: i've got self belief he grow to be a guy who had many style and beneficiant acts, and who had a super impact upon many human beings. nevertheless, i've got self belief he grow to be only a guy.

Your question assumes that we are the ones who created God's image. I think all God has wanted for us is fair and just, and for everyones good!
