The only attributes purely descrptive I'm aware referring to God are "God is Love", "God is among us", "God is judge", "God is holy", "God is pure" and "God is righteousness". The fact people attribute actionable thinkgs like vengeful and balme their own inequities and percieved injustice/evil and natual disasters on God still baffles me.Not being of the 3 aimed at here I do feel a need to respond. What I wonder is why enlightened nice-guy believers such as yourself do not rip out the genocidal, maniacal, bestial old testament part out of the bible. At least that's what I would have to conclude from all seemingly untouched bibles I've found on hotel rooms in my life so far (and I've visited many!).
Also, "God is Love", "God is among us", "God is judge", "God is holy", "God is pure" and "God is righteousness" are not descriptive attributes for any sentient entity or entities since they do not describe aspects that uniquely qualify one single agent or group of agents. On the contrary, these are unintelligible concepts synthesized to espouse semi-profundity that's easy to digest by brains prone for mysticism.
"God is love", would that mean that when I love my wife it actually is god doing the loving? That's disgusting!!
"God is among us", well, really....so is disease
"God is judge", I hope we've come away of that here in the West, let's call it progress, shall we?
"God is holy", yeah and circular is his business
"God is pure", and satan is pure and even the vegetables at the groceries are pure nowadays
"God is righteousness", hence the massive continuation of needless human suffering on an epic scale
