The best I think I can do is demonstrate that you don't fit the description of the Jewish G-d, but even then, we'd both have to agree that the description of G-d comes from Jewish sources.
What's G-d? did you mean God more correctly FSM?
Are you afraid to type it? if so why?
I type it with the dash mostly out of habit, because that's how my people in my culture do it. And to answer your other question, no, I was not referring to FSM. I suppose if I was, I'd have typed "FSM," or "The Noodly deity of the Pastafarians." G-d typed with a dash is, as far as I know, exclusively used by Jews to refer to the deity of the Hebrew Bible.

Play however you want everyone else does some very nice others nice and most not so nice. Aggressive surely not, well maybe but why not.

Yes, I wrote "descended" instead of "ascended". A simple error does not take away from the rest of my statement.
Descended is correct because last time I checked, Jesus was a Jew, practicing Judaism. And where does the Hebrew bible (the one Jesus was reading) say that souls go when they die? Do they fly up into the air, or do they descend into a pit?
Pulled from: http://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/...tradition/
"There are, however, several biblical references to a place called Sheol. It is described as a region “dark and deep,” “the Pit,” and “the Land of Forgetfulness,” where human beings descend after death. The suggestion is that in the netherworld of Sheol, the deceased, although cut off from God and humankind, live on in some shadowy state of existence.
While this vision of Sheol is rather bleak (setting precedents for later Jewish and Christian ideas of an underground hell) there is generally no concept of judgment or reward and punishment attached to it. In fact, the more pessimistic books of the Bible, such as Ecclesiastes and Job, insist that all of the dead go down to Sheol, whether good or evil, rich or poor, slave or free man ()."
Valkyrie seems to have stumbled on the correct verb from a biblical standpoint to describe the direction the soul travels after death. Ascend is incorrect and doesn't appear until the Roman pagans introduced it to their Jewish-Pagan blended religion, Christianity.
