i know God is loving
Clearly it isn't "ALL," then, right? You do care what type of god actually exists. You are taking this attribute of god(s) on faith, so there is still room for debate about whether god(s) is/are ...[text shortened]... of the universe is Bob, who reserves the inner circle of His hell for the especially devout?[/b]

... for simpletons like me. i might call it simpletonism. here it is, the "bible" of my religion: there exists God(s), worship him/her/them and thou shall be saved. because i do not care if it is the muslim God, the jewish God, the christian God or the flying spaghetti monster, or ALL of them. the only thing i believe is God(s) exist(s) so i worship hi ...[text shortened]... es of which God is the real God, for me anyways. but if you do not believe in God(s) then idc.
It sort of lumps most of the major world religions together as being aspects of one single unifying religion.
Interesting, if that's your thing ...

i agree with the view that it should be stripped-down to its basics.
if i was god, i hope i would not be egotistical, so i would not want people praising me, and worshiping me, or being grateful to me. people seem to think they can ingratiate themselves with god by muttering words of praise, im sure thats nonsense.
if there was a god i expect he would come down and knock our heads together for being so stupid!
