Termiter's argument that God is His own grandmother generated a
surprising amount of controversy among Church leaders, who on the one
hand considered the argument unsupported by scripture but on the other
hand were unwilling to risk offending God's grandmother.

Like my parents, I have never been a regular church member or churchgoer. It
doesn't seem plausible to me that there is the kind of God who watches over
human affairs, listens to prayers, and tries to guide people to follow His
precepts- there is just too much misery and cruelty for that....
