God's a jolly good fellow
As spurred on by a forum posting on a site I frequent erratically and contribute to even more sporadically

God's a jolly fellow, I think, and he gets along splendidly without me, and I without him.

Personally I believe the pondering of such things to be inherently futile as any God entity by definition would be beyond our cognitive possibilities to grasp. So why dedicate one's life to worry and ponderous musings that go nowhere?

If anything, focus rather on the question, which is why we seem to require to put ourselves into this hierarchy of pantheons and deities. Why must we always be affixed to some static point, as to define ourselves proper? Why not, instead, let ourselves be fleeting? The fleeting always wins over the rigid, or so experience and voyeourism over Nature's workings has taught me. I believe the same to be very much applicable to life in itself.

I think you are missing the over arching point. Do you have an issue with your own personal definition of God? Or perhaps the one which has been given to you in various forms through external sources, such as your family, the place that you grew up, TN?

But i feel your first point and your second, though connected, miss a certain essential fact. Shouldnt your concept/idea of God a personal one since those are the views you ultimately have complete control over? When you reject the idea of a God, are you rejecting the recommendations that these external sources have given to you, with their accumulated experiences in the area? Or your own personal experience with him?

Your own definition is only restricted by itself.

I'll put you another question mate, you ask, why we need a static point, and a hierarchy into which we want to put ourselves.
because it gives comparison, and comparison gives contrast, which you need to exist as an individual. Can there be black without white? in a way, yes... on the other hand, black isn't defined without white. So therefrom comes our identity, we compare to ideas, we compare to gods and theological theory, to find who we are... after all that is the big quest ainnit...
