MK, have you ever considered writing fiction - I mean stuff you knew was fiction? I think you would be good at it.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein 
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." (Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
This shit again?
Don't you ever tire of writing the same drivel, MK? I mean, are you going for a record as to how many different ways there are to spin the same bullshit? Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.
Theists and even deists often refrain from explicitly defining god, because doing so would subject your specific definition of god to be refuted. It's an interesting tactic I guess but easy to spot. Once we can define god, specifically, we can determine whether or not said god is real.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

I would applaud your patience if I didn't pity you.
The word bed actually looks like a bed.
God is that which transendates the knowledge of the real, and the love.
The knowledge is the light of the true path. The real is that which isn't the unreal or the sinister forces. The love is the barking that you hear from the dog blocking the path. The light on the path comes from those little solar thingies you buy at the home and garden shop that never seem to give enough light to keep you from stumbling over the trike your kid left on the path. The dog isn't even yours, fer chrissakes, but that doesn't seem to stop him from shitting in your begonias. So saith the Lord. Boru
‘But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no gods. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.’ - Thomas Jefferson
God is the perfect sop for those who can't or won't think for themselves.
