“I don’t believe that the God of the Bible either exists or not. I believe that the God of every individual He created exists, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, American Indian, Hindu”

But this is relativism, and relativism is self-defeating.

Here’s a way to think of it: The God you imagine who “put Himself in each of us” exists outside of us, as you describe Him.

God exists externally as a sovereign being who can put whatever He wants into us, certainly. But He doesn’t put anything in us other than that which glorifies Him.

I don’t believe it is self-defeating. Why do you say so?

I think God exists inside of us, outside of us, and even if we didn’t exist.
