Who/What is "God"

The answer is simple, but due to our conditioning (by historical power
structures); it's difficult to understand. The Christian religion says
God is in the shape of Man. This statement reminds me of when the Church
declared that the Sun revolves around the earth - just a bit arrogant - if
you disagreed you would be tortured until you confessed, then taken out and
burned at the stake. Religion talks about a merciful, angry, vengeful etc.
"God". Religion talks about a "God" who has unlimited power. A "God" who
knows everything. Religion refers to God as "he" - again exceptionally
arrogant

I know this must be an incredible revelation, but "God" is none of the
above. The above was invented to allow the Church/Government to control
people and to invent a hierarchy. God is God. To refer to God as anything
other than God, is to distort God, so one may inflict upon "God" any
characteristic they wish. We are currently being severely punished by God's
structure, but God has not forgotten or abandon Man. God provided a
structure to teach/reward/punish/challenge man. This Church does not ask you
to believe in any historical writing or the unknown. This structure is
commonly called "Nature" (The Living Word of God). To understand this
structure, so you are rewarded instead of being punished, go to

Being that the remains of HIS son was buried beneath the Sphinx, I'd
lean toward HIM being a man.

Thank for the interesting passage above that you mention without further
bibliographic reference for the biblical verse you cite (and I quote below).

As the original passage is "10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the
midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."

Who is to say which who and what is what who and which as to conject would
be unfair to all?

On face it was most interesting but as it is not an exact quote it is less
so.
Sorry but generally though your paraphrasing below seems to mirror King
James and could be considered correct as neither you nor they accurately
reference what was written it can not be taken seriously.

I am hurt and at great lost as we are all by your liberal abuse of liberty

Allow me to rephase and ellaborate for your benefit I believe in what people
call "g-d" the all mighty in responding to your messages I am not obligated
to define "your terminology" nor to "make your case for you". When you use
such vague undefined terms as you do (that can be applied to almost
anything, and I add to both sides of the arguement) where you use Theist
terminology (not Deist) which you also attack rather than define matters
yourself it is all self serving on your part.

As you and others did not as of yet follow up my responses I presume you and
everyone was in shock and not knowing what to say where the terminology is
sans definition and therefore truly adversal where the parties argue and
don't even minimaly agree on what they are arguing.
