Pretty sure that goes for the rest of us... Just a lot of word salad.
Technically it's not really your fault. How can you or anybody possibly describe God accurately when everybody has their own interpretation of what he is, where he is, what form he takes, etc. Ask a million people, get a million different answers. God has only ever been a personal god and thus can only be described on a personal level.
Which is why he has no actual objective existence.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Which probably explains why when they do brain scans of people who talk about their god, the part of their brain associated with 'self', like when they're talking about or describing themselves, is what is activated. It's like they all subconsciously realize it's not a separate entity from themselves, because it's invented by them in their own minds and in their own image. That's inescapable. Pretty damning that there's no external reality to any god concept whatsoever.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
