Maybe I haven't read as many of your posts as show that you haven't connected. I like the way you see God, sounds like my God.

that are more or less human, just more powerful.

You're welcome. 🙂
I feel all cozy and warm with all this friendliness. This is what God should be like. Make me all cozy
and warm inside.
Say, you're not God are you? 😲

suffering and disaster. If God is pure good, why would it be a He with all these human flaws?
I take it you don't believe in the Christian God as depicted in the bible, but something much better
and truly divine. Have you really connected with such an entity in such a way that there's no
question in your mind that it's not just a better part of your own self?

Now lets just get one thing str8 here. (and I'm not implying anyone is wrong or anything)
My GENERAL defintition of God (with a big 'g' ) is thus: God is the all,evertything. "It' is good and bad. It is every galaxy and solar system known and unknown. It is all the 'dark matter' and every little nuance or anomolie that can be percieved. God is all the dimensions and every little grain of sand, etc.In this sense God could be seen as a 'She' as in itself it does not perform any 'actions' or have any proactive qualities whatsoever. (female being the receptive,yonic principle of the universe)
When I say god (with a small 'g'😉 I mean someone that has been 'inspired' by the power of God. Examples would include Jesus,Bhudda, and perhaps some aliens that have visited the Earth and been revered as gods.
Now bear in mind this is a very simplistic explanation designed to see who is with me and who isn't on my interpretations of this highly contentious and troublesome word.
If anyone has any furthur questions or assertions they would like to run by me, or would like me to elaborate on any aspects of my point , feel free🙂

I confess I find the Bible hard to read, but what I have read and managed to understand God is a loving. Jesus said if you have see me you ahve seen the Farther, so God is like His son. The same as the one who washed the feet of his enemys http://www.gregboyd.org/popular/washing-osamas-feet/
Fed the hungry and feels our pain more deeply then we do.
There's no question in my mind that God could be a part of myself -no possiablity of that. Have I connected with Him? Well that's a big question. I have asked God to come into my life and wondered if I'm not chosen by him when the Holy Spirit apparently gave pictures to others and not me. I guess I have felt dissalusioned and I hope for myself as I posted to you, that God reveals Himself to me also. I have gone to church and seen people healed and watched them worship but I do feel on the outside.

I agree. Do you think your picture of God effects how you feel about his existance?
