Say God is a gigantic fully charged battery and I'm a little one....what happens if I hook up with inverse polarity? Fried.
The heavenly state is "with current", the hellish state is like "cross current".
Orientation of consciousness is important.
This is true. If he exits, then we can't make him not exist. We can only choose how we will react to his existence. Just like the earth on which we now live. We can't make it go away, but we can choose to end our existence here. We would be gone, but the world would still be here.

Some would rather worship an obscure, unknown God whom they live in fear of.
I don't and won't.

You can eff it all you like, for my money.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I eff for the fun of it. If I'm going to take your money, I'd have to give you a proper effing but I'm not quite up to the task.

I asked you a couple times and I believe I received no answer. Is there any benefit to knowing your complicated vision of God? According to your concept, are they any rewards received by a person who accepts your idea of God? Do we owe God love, worship or anything at all?

"I am the Eternal...I am that which created the Word...I am the Word." From the bible? No. From the Egyptian book "of the dead" (going forth by day.)
