This was quite -- not sure what word I want to use -- "interesting" is weak, "informative" is impersonal, "helpful" is sort of selfish of me -- any way -- I appreciated very much your writing this. Although I am a person who still seeks truth and personal worldview through the personal God most exceptionally revealed through a Judeo-Christian worldview, I have found that what we humans have "done to" that god, and more importantly done to each other and ourselves and our planet often in that God's name, has made me tremble with doubt and has created rather seismic changes in my own ideas and beliefs. I think your story in this blog would actually fit in rather well with many other stories in the Bible and other god-centered belief systems. Not sure if that reassures you on any level, but I do hope it pleases you.
