Here it is,in case you missed it:
Chapter 2: “Impostors”
1.Relationships
a fear of intimacy
"Makes me wonder if God created us in His image or if we created Him in ours?"
2. God is like Santa
What does believing in something do to someone?
(example: when kids believe in santa, then they find out he's not real - what does that do to them?)
3. Why do you think Miller wanted to tell God that He didn't exist?
One thought would be, santa failed him. So Miller thought he would reject God before God could reject him.
See you all on Thursday,

Thanks Andi!

My two cents on chapter 2:
There are people out there who will tell you they know what God thinks about this and what he feels about that. Of course, they will also let you know how God wants you to get rich, how he wants you to vote, (and where to drop the bombs). Miller wants no part of this "little god" they are talking about, the one they have all figured out. These people will let you down, every time, period.
When Miller tells God “You don't exist,” I don't really see it as renouncing the big God that he knows in his heart is there. I think deep down he is stating: If that's all there really is, then it's not a relationship he cares to continue, which is still plenty scary.
