Dissecting God

"Sometimes I think today's Evangelicals have dissected God, put Him in jars, labeled all the parts, and then breathed a heavy sigh of relief.  'Whew.  Job done,' they gasp.  'now we have no more confusion about God.  Now we have a God we can market.  At least now we can be excruciatingly confident that 'our team' is right.'" - This Beautiful Mess p.6

I wonder if you or I could be found guilty of dissecting God and missing the forest for the trees?
