[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God is a combination of the best of human nature across all humans. [/quote]

When humans exercise free will to make moral choices, that’s a good thing. But you’re still describing human behavior. Humans are not God.[/quote]

Maybe god makes us human?

I grew up in the Christian faith, but the divine experiences I had haven’t been witching the context of those rituals. Though I could use the Christian language to attempt an accurate description. “Peace that passes all understanding” for instance. But there are also other traditions that offer descriptions…Eckert Tolle has a book called “Stillness Speaks.” Byron Katie’s 4 questions practice have also placed me in a state that I am able to shift my perspective and make better choices.

God is love. I think the who or what is god is irrelevant. It’s the experience that is transformative. [/quote]

You don't think that if God exists, that He would want you to know him?  That He would be content with you thinking that who He is is irrelevant? [/quote]

Sounds like immediate pp believes in the Christian God, while spiritual pp has a broader definition of god. [/quote]

I don't see how this is only about the Christian God.  If you believe in any god, I assume you mean some force that somehow created or sustains life on earth, including your life.  But yet you think that god is ok being unknown and deemed irrelevant?  I guess I am trying to grasp what kind of god that would be. [/quote]

The experience is enough. I know I‘ve felt it. I don’t need to know how to define it, just that it’s available to me if and when I am still enough.

I don’t assign meaning or purpose to it and make no claims to what it is or does other than providing me with a sense of peace. [/quote]

This god sounds like a good imaginary friend.  There when you need him.  Doesn't make any demands, like following the rules of a particular religion or trying to figure out what the Bible says [/quote]
