You won't find God for sale in some dusty old flea market. Despite this, people are always scrounging around, looking for a cheap imitation of God to take home with them. In their search for this counterfeit God, they pick and choose passages out of scripture, mix them with a dash of cultural awareness and top it off with their own incredible insights. The result of this concoction is a God that tastes and looks a lot like themselves...
What people are really looking for is a divine stamp on a life of self-indulgence.
Cheap imitations always fall way short of the real thing. A cheap imitation of God is no different. It will fall way short of the original.
Could it be that people's frustration with God has more to do with the cheap imitation they bring home with them than the real God of the Bible whom they accuse of not living up to their expectations?
