Hi rob I have no problem with people seeing God as
Life
Truth
Wisdom
Love
Nature
Universal laws
or all of creation/universe in general
I find the real issue is not division between theists or nontheists,
but whether or not we forgive our differences.
so the real issue dividing people is not whether there is God or not God,
it is whether there is forgiveness and inclusion
or there is unforgiveness and exclusion which tends to be mutual.
I have an atheist friend who believes in the power of forgiveness to keep people sane, and actively teaches the abundance of free grace in life.
so there is no issue with him and theists as long as there is forgiveness,
and where things fall short is where people cannot forgive and include each other.
in that area, that's where i find that the divine forgiveness on the highest level that Christ Jesus represents is what is necessary to fully forgive and include all people.
i believe that level of restorative justice is what Jesus represents, whether you call it love or God or you call it justice with mercy or Jesus Christ, it is that spirit of truth.
are you okay with other definitions or representations of God that respect all different religious views, theist or nontheist?
