Maybe you guys are mixing religion with God

[Pat Mustard]

Yeah, its not the same. Somthing might have caused you to hate religion however this alos impacted you on hating God. Who is God - the goodness within.

Your promblem is with religion not God.

Religion is the system used by people to explain god, and to propogate the belief in that god. So if a religion is bad it is almost certainly because the concept of god thought up by the creators of the religion is bad. The reason why the three desert religions are so bloodthirsty is because the people who invented yhwh invented him originally as a racist war god who couldn't accept worship of any other god by anybody.

Oh and I also note that your idea begs the question of gods existence. In order for you to seriously pose that question, wouldn't it be a better idea for you to show that the god you're talking about actually exists?
