Can you think of a worse metaphor than "God-shaped hole in your heart"?

at least there's not a God shaped hole in my brain,

Humans have evolved to be good at spotting patterns and meanings because it allows our brains to make intuitive decisions quickly. Analytical decisions would take too long for our brains to process. These are rules of thumb, if you like. Unfortunately this processing is too sensitive, and can easily spot patterns where there are none. For example, consider the clustering illusion, where people will pick out patterns and rules in a random sequence of numbers, where there none (some of you will probably hear others complaining that last night's lottery numbers weren't random, as they were all low numbers, or all high numbers). People also like to try and feel like everything happens for a reason, or that they personally can influence lots of things. There are evolutionary advantages to this mindset, but it can result in some striking behaviours. Think of the sportsman who always wears the same pair of socks when competing, the tribe who perform a rain dance to effect the weather, the man who believes that there will be less chance of rain if he opens his left curtain before the right every morning. Ironically, it is the same processing in the brain that allows us to reason incredibly quickly, but also to believe a lot of irrational things.

I always thought "like a rhinestone cowboy" was the worst, though I suppose that's a simile.

Here's a bunch of great ones (been around awhile -- the bad similes from HS papers): http://www.baltimorechronicle.com/quotes_sep02.htm...

Praise God the valve clogger.

Not to mention god is invisible and has no shape, so thusly...there are no holes after all.

I'm waiting for this message in the medical journals:

Hey have you heard of the literal and figurative meaning of things.

Atheists are smart, but you make them look bad.

Sinner the Agnostic

I think in our lives would be better we need God in our lives.
