Some interesting reads on your blog… and thought I should pay homage and comment on at least one =)

The first thought that came to mind with regard to the notion behind 'thought of the day', was simplism. Simplism in that it aims to eliminate complexity to make something sound implausible, illogical and even childish.

Granted, perhaps you're just observing how other simple people portray good, evil and God; though resorting to over-simplified analogies and metaphors is not going to achieve much. In the same way a lot of others use simplism to make evolution and Atheism look delusional.
