If you had an incomplete idea of God (no matter where it came from) why would God support it? because if God supported a bad idea of him then you would think that bad version of God to be accurate. Rather God sets a standard of Himself and we must A/S/K to find it when we do, we find God. God genuinely shows up. You will know it is God because he brings understand that you truly have no knowledge of. It can be like being uploaded 'kung fu' on the matrix.Where would we get this "incomplete" idea of god? Where else? The bible and his followers. And how many different (dare I say incomplete) ideas of your god are floated around by those who have done the A/S/K? a pantload. How many have sincerely wanted to believe, but god didn't show up? Plenty more. If your god loves us so much, it's pretty strange that he would ignore someone with an "incomplete" idea of him (after all, they must be acknowledging his existence) without setting them straight. Doesn't seem to be really interested in how sincere someone feels, or the fact that any info on him is contradictory, but more like toeing the line on little details to see if you pass muster. But I'm sure god has told you that I am wrong. It sounds more like people rationalizing their emotional beliefs.

Please.
It's like just because you know how a watch is made does not mean their isn't a watch maker.
Do you understand??
Knowing how God does something does not mean God isn't responsible. or in this case knowing why there are more natural disasters doesn't mean God did not have someone record what he saw and had him describe it the best he could.
No one who knows how a watch is made thinks there is no watchmaker. That's just stupid. I do understand. It's just not what you want me to understand. Because what you want me to understand makes no sense,
