 You have to have an accurate picture of God. If you have a warped picture of God, it will send you down bad pathways. If you think God is an angry deity that you're afraid of, that he's always looking to punish you, it'll send you into ritual. So you do so many things a day and you have to do this and you have to do that and you have to do that and you hope someday some way that you can appease his anger.
