Do you wish your god were different?

Calling all the faithful...It strikes me as odd that I don't think I have ever heard any religious person of any denomination say that they believe in one particular god but wish he were more like another - or simply express dislike the god they believe in.For example, I've never heard anyone say "I'm a Catholic and believe in the Christian god, but I think he's a right tosser."Similarly, I've never heard someone say, "I believe that the Islamic god is the only one that really exists, but I would much prefer it if it was Thor instead."When you look at it objectively, it's very odd. There are billions of people on the planet who believe in some god or other. But does every single one of them also like the god they believe in? It seems like too big a coincidence to me.Does belief in a particular god's existence and wholesale admiration for that same god always go hand-in-hand? If so, why?
