That's the thing though, they get to do that. All religious people only believe in their own specific version of God. If they find out God doesn't match up to it then he's not the god they've been worshipping. I remember saying that a lot to other Christians growing up "not my God".
I'll have faith in God so long as he matches up with my own standards for the bare minimum of what a God must be. If not then he's not my god and I'm not interested.
It actually makes sense to me and it seems the smartest way to be religious.
Unless you're a crazy psychopath who thinks your God is telling you to murder every non-Christian in your path! Sadly, it works both ways.
