>>To say that you "have God" can be construed as saying that you own or hold in an subordinate role, the entity of God.<<

Or to have an obligation to or have a relationship with. Do you have faith? Do you hold that in subordinate role? Did you say “to have and to hold” when you got married? Do you hold your wife in a subordinate role? Do you have faith in your church and is that subordinate to you? Or should I just take that you hadn’t thought that one through much other than to construe a contrary stance?

Hardly. God is the Creator of All. I object to the seemingly casual presumption of possession or else the rather startling presumption of Buddy Christ. My relationship with my wife is not comparable on any level with my relationship with God.
