what a 3 dimensional way of thinking.
What if the whole of reality exceeded the confines of 3 dimensional thought?
That would make your meme unless and your assessment of Billions of people across time sharing the same 'group hypnosis even if they never had access to God or the bible.
Three dimensional. Our lives are three dimensional. Our planet is three dimensional. If there are other dimensions, we have no data on them, therefore, they are irrelevant.
Billions of people have come up with a god concept. They were trying to explain what the sun was, or trying to control others by claiming that they could talk to the rain god.
Billions of people have come up with many thousands of very different gods. It's called story-telling and imagination. If there was any credible evidence of anything remotely like a deity, these "gods" would be identical, and proof for this creature would be obvious. This is not the case.

And if you mean the god of the Bible, that god is not loving -- it is a maniacal, homicidal control freak with a torture and blood fetish. Equating it with love renders the word "love" meaningless.
Why do parents have rules? Because they love you. Why do parents watch their children? Because they love them. Why do parents punish disobedient children? Because they love them. Why do parents encourage children to be the best they can be? Because they love them. Why do parents protect their children? Because they love them. God is a parent. Sometimes parenting is hard. A child may have to die in order to save others.
Why do some xtians hold on to this idea that their imaginary friend is their DADDY? It's such an infantile mindset.
"I have this all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal parent who loves ME ME ME. If good things happen, it's because my imaginary friend loves ME ME ME and if bad things happen, my imaginary friend is teaching ME ME ME. My demonic sky-monster daddy murdered his "son" to save ME ME ME from being tortured for eternity for being what it created ME ME ME to be, and nobody cares about the people who are going to hell, they deserve it."
Crap-loads of this ridiculous egotistical drivel based on some evil, immoral, tribal fairy tales all based on "my imaginary friend loves ME ME ME better than those people over there".
Your imaginary friend is the most evil monster humankind has ever created.
