Document Summary
Reveals the kind of transcendent authority one looks to when making decisions and planning one"s life. The term god is almost synonymous with the idea of a loving deity. This lack of variation tells us very little about who god is. Everyone thought considers god to be loving so it doesn"t give us any insight. Name and describe the 4 god types. What distinguishes the 2 high engagement types: authoritative god: a god who is high engagement/high judgement, just as likely to see god as loving but they see god as willing to judge and punish. The bad and good things happen to us are likely of his making. Look at gods punishments: benevolent god: a god who is high engagement/low judgement. But they"re less likely to think that god judges and punishes human behavior. God is mainly a force of positive influence in the world and is less willing to condemn individuals.
