The god that I believe in is not magical, transcendental, etc. and I find not believing in any woo, as you put it, a good trait. My personal faith requires seeing the world and my self in a different way which differs from many people. But it does not require me to believe in things that are beyond, transcendental, magical, etc. Just like how a scientist might start seeing himself and the world as bags of particles and atoms which might be different to how people usually see themselves and their world.
That's fantastic! I trust there is no mantra to hate gays or need to have slaves in your customised version of god? hehe
But why then the preoccupation with needing to call it a god? Why the need to technically be religious? Is grandma giving you trouble!
catch..
In all honesty, even the off the shelf religions have got so much filler in them to make them palatable with the modern world, that every person who tries it also describes a different unique taste as you do... As we are emotional (we don't like using "spiritual" here, (more meaningless woo)) creatures, A belief in god should always be a customised god for those that need one.
All the prepackaged ones make corporate promises which they cannot keep anyway!
Also, you wanting your god seems honest and genuine. As with my Margaret Court thread example yesterday, many theists use the religion to hide their predudices behind.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
