AN UPDATE ON AN OUTDATED GOD~*~

It is no wonder that some people do not believe in God. God, as presented by fundamental Christianity, is a vindictive tyrant who watches and waits for you to blunder then unleashes his wrath; punishment for your sins - yet, you are expected to believe that he loves you immensely. This God allows wars, poverty, unspeakable suffering, sickness and many other atrocities that can in no way be associated with love. Even the staunchest Christian, in the midst of a dark hour, may find his faith in such a God waning as he beseeches deliverance that doesn't come. This is why I do not believe in God either; at least not God as he has been doled out to the masses throughout history as an all sovereign demiurge that distributes calamity or fortune at his whim. I believe instead in an impersonal creative energy that is bound by immutable Universal Law to be a respecter of no man. It will not - cannot - intervene in the affairs of man, ever. I refer to this energy as Divine Intelligence. You may call it what you will even God, if you like. I sometimes do myself.

If the Bible is perused with the awareness of the possibility of such a phenomenon as Divine Intelligence, one would find that much, if not all biblical reference to God makes more logical sense. Pay very close attention to what the Bible says about God and man, and here you will find the Laws that set the parameters of Divine Intelligence, and man's place in the scheme of things; including the one that I mentioned above God being a respecter of no man. This is not to be taken as a frivolous character trait of a mythical deity as hereto now presented. But rather this is an actual law that governs the vast, expansive, intelligent, creative force that controls the universe, Divine Intelligence. It does not give consideration to man because it cannot do this anymore than an apple could fall upwards from a tree.

The figurehead, plastic model of God who sits on high in some unknown place called heaven, is a construct of powerful leaders from ancient time to the present. They have intentionally misled and confused the masses as to the actual nature of God. Why, you say, would they do that? The answer is quite simple and one you've heard or read many times before if man knew who or what God is, then he would know who he is because he was made in God's image. If we were all able to comprehend that we ourselves are gods, with the same power within us that created the heavens and the earth, then
