Stop trying to correct my grammar. I've started my own religion and in my religion, God is spelled with a capital "G" every time, unless I change my mind. Which I probably will.
It might interest you that in my religion, we don't start wars and kill people for sport or property and profit. We don't discriminate against other religions. Even though w ...[text shortened]... eader. Of course I will always keep most of my powers.
Ps...mods are the devil. 😉
I am most interested🙂

Sadly I cannot imagine God, yet I firmly believe that God exists.
I have often spoken to people who say that he has spoken to them and if that happened to me it would allow me to at least try to imagine God. .... in the same way that when certain people walk into a room one can get an impression of their charisma (sometimes even before they have spoken). ...[text shortened]... mage of him - as per the question raised by Yo.
Anyone have any ideas or experiences on this ?

You imiagine God to unapprochable and intolerant to humans?
The old testiment is not only what Jewish people read it's also Christians and Muslims. Here is an extract for you from the old testiment. “Can a mother forget the infant at her breast, walk away from the baby she bore? But even if mothers forget, I’d never forget you—never. Look, I’ve written your names on the backs of my hands..." Is 49.15-16 NIV that's no monster!

For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die.
Gen 7:21-23
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man; everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth.
Not only is this god a monster, but he is the greatest conceivable monster.
