					<description><![CDATA[I suppose confrontation is only an early step on the way toward reconciliation?  

I love the group therapy idea.  Me and god haven&#039;t been on speaking terms so much for a while now.  Might help.

Now I&#039;m toying around with other models too---intervention, encounter group.  Maybe what we really need is something like the &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.breaking-the-ice.de/about.php&quot;&gt;Breaking the Ice&lt;/a&gt;&quot; model.  They recently used it for a group of Israelis and Palestinians.  If it worked for those antagonists, maybe it could even work for god and humanity!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Heather MacDonald may be on to something there.  But she doesn&#039;t take her analysis far enough.  It seems to me the blame rests with us, not God, in her scenario: essentially, human beings (well, theists at least), have all become a pack of enablers.  God gets away with all sorts of malfeasance because everybody else acts like an abused spouse, excusing away the violent tantrums and focusing on a fantasy-image of the abuser.  Maybe God and humanity need group therapy?]]></description>
