Your god, is he anything like Gaia? or Tao? a principle like gravity that makes life possible? a universe that wishes to understand itself? or Plato's "The Good"? or just that Jewish god of war that at some point or another proclaimed himself "the god"? How is he better than Zeus or Athena or Ares for that matter? Please don't tell me the Jewish gods were "the chosen gods" too. Did he just come with the best manual? choose his Lieutenants right? were petty enough so common people could relate? condescend to bestow on humans his image?
Of what interest could we as individuals, as a group, as a nation, as humanity could be to a god? Entertainment, the immense opera written by the devil, in honor and staged for god, where each of us at one time or another sings an aria and then return to the chorus?
