why does everyone refer to god as if he was a person. stop anthropomorphizing the universe!!! such ways created the prophet, which in turn led to agressive and sometimes violent civilization. the relationship between god and man seems to have changed from perfection-disorder to ruler-servant. i attribute this to the roman empire's use of christianity to expand its borders (and similarly with the ottoman empire and islam). the spirit of empiire is permanently etched into the doctrines of both. why use only armies in conquest, send the priests too. this is why i respect the jews, they maintain god as a non human entity, leaving it as a philisophical concept. there religion is different in that it doesnt seek to constantly expand its influence through conversion.
