I don't want a perfect God.

I don't want a God that can't relate to my experiences of being human. I believe God doesn't have the right to judge me when he doesn't even know what it is like to be human and mortal. He doesn't know what it is like to be shunned by his father or murder/save an equal to himself.
And I don't want to hear this God is everywhere. 'Cos if that is true then he is part of me and you. And I don't see why he would kill parts of himself and make them suffer even though he made us the way we are. Also, if God is separate then the thought experiment God + any object(s) = something more than God. And God cannot be exceeded even by himself 'cos he is supposedly infinite.
I want to hear your thoughts. And yes, I might be wrong just like anybody else.

I think you are making a mistake.You can`t judge God from outside first you must have the whole picture.
If you take out the God from the picture it`s easy.You are born from some chemical reactions ,you live your life as you want and you die.You must respect several rules in order to live .You must eat,drink water and breath air.And you must respect the moral rules inside the society,we all need to do that otherwise someone may end your life.Then one day you`ll die and that`s it.No one will judge you.
If you put God in the picture it`s a little more complicated.You are born from the same chemical reactions plus the will of God.You must respect more rules besides the ones from an atheist life.You must respect the rules of the one who gave you life in order to live.You must not forget that he is the life and you are nothing without life.He created you,he wants something from you so he has the right to judge you.
Think about you having a great computer,i mean one with more power than all the computers in the world today.Probably you can create a life stimulator on that computer.You can create the earth and the laws of nature and physics.You can create all the vegetation and all the animals on this world today.You can even create the humans with free will and intelligence and the ability to create culture.You can create the whole universe and if one day some of the humans on your program will go to the moon the moon is actually there for them like our moon is here for us to see and explore.Everything they see is actually there.And you create everything with a purpose.It`s not important what purpose.You "suggest " them that they have been created and you want some things from them.You don`t want to interfere too much because you want them to reach the truth by themselves.Then you start to hear "BLTLife has no right to judge us ". . You expect at least one of these people to jump off the matrix and you see them heading in the opposite direction.While such a program is entertaining it is a big waste of resources if you don`t reach your initial purpose.So it is better if you quit your computer and rewrite the program.

If I created this world I wouldn't suggest anything. They are supposedly free creatures so why would I suggest anything and take away any freedom they have? Even if it's a tiny smudge amount. If I wanted them to reach the truth themselves then I wouldn't interfere at all. If they wanted to kill each other it wouldn't be my job to decided who is guilty or not. Being free doesn't entail having an outside force "guiding" you to do good or bad. If they find everlasting peace that is their fault. Just like if they were to destroy themselves, it would be their fault. That is what freedom is. Not the force-able punishment you'll receive for not listening to a god. 'Cos that installs fear into people. And fear controls A LOT of things.

That`s how you think now because you haven`t created anything yet.If you want to get a result from your creation you`ll have to suggest them what to do.Otherwise like i said it is a waste of resources to keep your computer busy just because you think those people should be free.

A)I have created things living and nonliving.
B)You are correct in the fact if you want a certain result(s) 99.9999% of the time it has to be suggested. But as I said before I'm not looking for results in this God Mode situation. Only to breathe life into creatures that will then take care of themselves from that moment forward. To give them actual freedom from a higher power other than themselves.
C)It can't be a waste of resources when one is god. If you can make something out of nothing then there is infinite amount resources.

Your "god" can be exactly what you want him to be. Nobody knows who or what started the formation of the universe or laid down the natural laws by which it all works.
all the gods s that have ever been worshiped have been invented by men and there is not a scrap of real evidence to show that there is any being or power who has the slightest interest in anyone's welfare or the actions of any individual. So you can make up any god you like and nobody can say you are wrong.

Sorry I was not very clear. Of course people will say you are wrong because someone always does but it does not matter what sort of god you invent they cannot prove you are wrong mainly because you cannot prove a negative. However you can prove a positive so if you invent a god then people will ask you to prove he exists but there is no need to worry about that as people have been asking religious organizations to prove their god exists since time began and none of them have been able to do that but it has not stopped them.

Are you saying you don't want there to be a God, or that you don't like the God that is? What do you know about God?

You never have to worry about God Judging you. You are going to do that for yourself. With the pieces of the puzzle you do have, I can see why you feel like you do. Know that God is perfect. God's system is perfect. You are missing just too many pieces of the puzzle. Look around you. Figure out what is missing from your view that would change things. God is very very smart. Stretch in our thinking. God is working on multiple levels with multiple views. There is more depth than you can imagine. Regardless of what happens. We are all eternal. Soon enough you will be back in God's Unconditional Love that will heal all hurt. With each step, we understand more.

Have you ever heard the story of Jesus? He came to us in human form and He lived through many trials, rejections and torments. He was tempted to do things He shouldn't do, just like we are. And in the end, the very people He came to save killed him in a horrible manner.
He's been here. He knows what it's like. That's why He can be our advocate, speaking for us and praying for us.
God judges us through the eyes of Jesus, who knows how hard life here can be.

Jesus wasn't one of us. If a man can produce miracles, resurrect himself (And again when the time comes), and receive word that he is God or at the least the Son of God then he doesn't know the human experience. Also, it bugs me that man can inflict pain onto God through Jesus. Something just doesn't seem right about that.

I think you make great points. I too need my G-d to have more human traits. I believe whatever version of G-d you need He is for you.

God will never be the same as the things of men. Power, the will and the manifestation of God is far more glorious than what humans think about God. So, it's useless you think about being god if you equate God with something object
