Our desire for certainty is a very seductive idol but "Peter Rollins suggests that Jesus actually came, not to fill the gap, but to set us free from this idolatrous instinct. Instead of offering a freedom from this type of thinking, the church has simply joined the party and placed its own product in the machine. Their god-product takes its place alongside all the other things vying for our attention with their promises to fill the gap in our lives and render our existence meaningful. Take one or mix and match: luxury car, financial success, fame, or Jesus; they all pretty much promise the same satisfaction."
