i believe i know my god (in a very superficial and character-based manner). but at least i am humble enough to accept that i could be completely wrong. what gives you the authority and the arrogance to proclaim that you know god. you cannot know him. he is eternal and exists outside of anything you can comprehend.

how dare you?

if he communicates with his followers then why must they follow your rules. why can't they find him by what he says and not what your book says?

Re: God wants to be known by us
a known god as fickle as the one described in the bible is not as worthy of worship as an unknown being of omnipotence, which as far as i can tell is not a trait of the god of the bible as he is described. however, the way people talk about the god of the bible entirely contradicts the way he is described in the bible.
​
my only conclusion must be that one is wrong. i choose to think it's the book.
