Right, god isn't what they actually experience. It's what they infer is what it comes from and what it means.
Admittedly, no believer I've ever talked to about it has seemed any too pleased with the idea of a scaled down god. Too bad. I think they could be very happy with it. The decrease in cognitive dissonance alone should seal the deal. Unfortunately they don't think anything that just comes from them can be good or important enough. I think they settle for a too limited notion of themselves.
