A possibly new perspective on this thing that we know as God.

No real human individual is quite so irredeemably nasty as to combine all of the attributes of God: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. Although some do try.

We know that through the teachings of Baha'u'llah. He is the current divine educator of God for this time and age.

Oh the invisible, immaterial God in another dimension (someone obviously hasn't visited Carl Sagan's garage).

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
