What is the Point of Believing in God Without Religion?

RE: What is the Point of Believing in God Without Religion?
Question for you Drich. Do you think God can make a decision? As in weigh up and choose between alternatives as a human would in making a decision? And if so, being God and being perfect, would that imply that he could never make a wrong/bad decision and therefore that he always makes the best possible choice? And being omniscient, does that include knowledge of the future and therefore imply that all his choices also factor in the future? Is that how you see God's decision making process... after all, it is stated that man was created in God's image; does that include emulating, sans perfection, the way he thinks?... or do you see it as something different... maybe without decisions per se in real time or otherwise, or without human style thinking, or something else? I'm only asking this out of curiosity about your viewpoint, since you mentioned God's plan and I'm curious how you think such a plan was formed, but my question is not otherwise related to the thread.
