The very first thing I liked about Christianity, long before it ever occurred to me to go to church or say the creed or call myself a Christian, was the Incarnation, the idea that God lowered himself and became a man so that we could relate to Him better.  In Christianity, God got to be both a distant and transcendent Father God, and a present and immanent Son God who walked among us.  Christians spent their time talking to God who knew from experience what it was like to get hungry, to go swimming, to miss a best friend.
