that's actually the very thing that started me doubting that there is a God. behind every detail of the nature of God, i could not help seeing a reflection of the central hopes, fears, and uncertainties of humanity.

I would be very interested in knowing what you concieve G-d to be. You don't evidence someone who has spent time studying Him in His Word. I could be wrong of course. When I read His Word I see something unlike anything anyone has ever imagined.

Shalom.

you're mistaken.

When I read His Word I see something unlike anything anyone has ever imagined.

please expound. as for my conception, let me tell it like this:

where did i come from?
no one knows but we'll call the answer God.
why am i here?
no one knows but we'll call the answer God's plan.
where am i going when i die?
no one knows but we'll call the answer God's justice.
why should i be good when evil seems to be rewarded?
no one knows but we'll call the answer God's presence.
will bad people ever have to pay for their deeds?
no one knows but we'll call the answer God's wrath.
why does everyone have to die someday?
no one knows but read the story of God and Adam.
why do bad things happen to good people?
no one knows but read the story of God and Job.
why are there different languages?
no one knows but read the story of God and Babel.
why are there rainbows?
no one knows but read the story of God and Noah.
and so on and so on and finally...
what does God look like?
like a man.
what is our relationship to Him?
he is our Father.

the problem theists face today is that in general people are not as confounded by these questions as they used to be.
