I have always liked the idea that we are all pieces of the universe trying to figure itself out.
De'Lenn from Babylon had a great quote of that.
"The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff, we are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. As we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective."
That kind of thinking makes much more sense to me that nay idea of God that I have ever seen.

Since the only God worthy
of our attention, in my opinion, is directly involved in all events I consider all inputs on the matters relating to religion as part and parcel of the way my God works in and through all sentient beings. Creative intelligence (not to be confused with the claim to intelligent design and zapped into being in the time span of one rotation of the earth creationism) that is beyond the human conceptions of good and evil will take on the guise of both sides of any argument in order to break down extremist and no-longer useful views for it's desired outcome of coming to a broader view and experience for it's living representatives, which is me and you and all living beings. Therefore in my mind, even if I from time to time may attack your point of view, and you mine, your view is as much the work of God/Truth/Ultimate Reality as anyone's words who claim to be a representative of whatever form of God they believe they represent. This comment became rather lengthy, so I've cut it short and am posting the whole thing in my blog. Thanks for your continued inspiration, even if I often disagree with your point of view.

You still should read the story I got that name from. The Oddy and Id by Alfred Bester.

I suddenly feel a creepy chill running down my spine. It almost feel as if a great stress has returned to annoy all in its path.
Are you getting that same feeling?

kooka_lives - most people in our societies are so conditioned in their
thinking that only positive affirmation will be viewed as any form of truth.
The same conditioning would have many people believe it if you said that Satan spoke to you. Mind you, we have some people around here that claim to speak with Satan . . . I often wonder how many people believe them?
