This is why I always get a good chuckle out of the proclamation of Christers saying they have a deep, personal relationship with god. It's really just them creating an artificial construct in their minds of what absolute goodness and kindness is out of cherry picked parts of the bible that align with their outlook.
I had a deep, personal relationship with my friend Billy. Then, I turned 4, and he stopped existing in my mind.
