A God of security

My wife and I were (yes, I admit) watching South Park last night and saw a fairly funny episode which touched upon something I've written on in the past. Here's the AP's take on it:

NEW YORK (AP) - Banned by Comedy Central from showing an image of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the creators of "South Park" skewered their own network for hypocrisy in the cartoon's most recent episode.

The comedy - in an episode aired during Holy Week for Christians - instead featured an image of Jesus Christ defecating on President Bush and the American flag.

As a follower of Christ (peace be upon Him), I can appreciate the Muslim's insistence Muhammad not be denigrated via image. However, I am happy to serve a God who condescended to clothe Himself in humility, Who could care less about how He is displayed by men. Only one who is so insecure as to be concerned with his image would take pains to censor his image.

I could not serve so insecure a god - a god who needs me to define who he is.
