C'mon Dan, every God is a construct of what the people who constructed him think and/or project! That's why the God of the Old Testament is such a shit. Have you ever spent any time in the Middle East Dan? Do that and then you'll understand where that God came from. It's still in the hearts of the people there where every nation had its own god, and every city had its own god and every village and every household had its own god and each of these gods was always seeking to trample the other gods into the dust and have primacy over them. Eventually the God you believe in prevailed. Why? Because he was the nastiest of them all. He is not a mystery and you and your ilk just haven't got enough brains to grasp the fact that the Bible are just stories and not always salutary ones!
