I suspect many will insist one intimately concerned with each and every moral choice you confront, who celebrates your victories and keeps tabs on your guffaws.
True, most don't want to face the reality that if a god is responsible for the creation of this universe than he is very likely NOT human and thus not remotely predisposed to the emotions and fragile concerns that we assign him.
Here's what we do know:
Every religion of the world works on the same basic premise, eternal reward and/or punishment.
Every religion has a really old book and/or set of ancient writings.
Every god of every religion has human emotions assigned to it.
All the worlds most popular religions incorporate blood sacrifice.
Every religion admonishes it's devotees to fear its god(s).
Every religion claims that they serve the one true god(s).
Sound a lot alike? My thought is this:
If I assume that there is indeed a God that created this universe, there's no fucking way that he's going to have anything to do with any religion thought up by the idiots on this planet. My point: If every religion claims they alone serve the one true god(s), despite the fact that they are all the same, than it seems painful obvious that all religions are fraudulent and there are no limitations on who God is.
