Surely, LeGrande, you've encountered the Biblical phrase, "The Lord, our God" somewhere in your life? (Hint: It's replete in Scripture from Deut to the rest of the Bible?...Now you're not chastising me for failing to put "The Lord" in front of the "our God" phrasing, are you???)
...as opposed to the Jewish God
Well, L, as I just mentioned to the Jews, he was "our God" too "The Lord, our God, is one"...you're not sending an e-mail to all the Jewish synagogues of the world asking them if they are displaying "tribalism" are you?
Yes? (Consistent?)
No? (Inconsistent then?)
...anthropomorphizing God,
No, the Lord chose the mathematical reality of 7-day weeks (not me).
The Lord chose the mathematical reality of a 7-day Sabbath rest (not me).
Jesus Christ talked about forgiving people 7 times 70 (not me)
(I could go on)
The bottom line here is that numbers weren't created by your anthropos sourcing, were they? (I mean what? You think man created mathematical realities, or do you think man discovered mathematical realities???...which is it, Mr. LeGrande? Do mathematical realities transcend man, LeGrande, or were they invented by man?)
You agree that the Jews and you believe in the same God? How about the Catholics? The Mormons? The Moslems? If you think they believe in other Gods, can you explain why? I am especially interested in the differentiation between the Catholic God and the Jewish God.

Now that you mention it, Judaism is almost the definition of Tribalism. They are God's chosen people aren't they? Do you feel left out knowing that your God loves them more?

Man created math, the same as he created God and religion, and for the same reason, to understand the world and universe.
