Yes, I checked - name's Tim, right? Sorry, the pop-up mini profile thingy wasn't working the other day. You interest me - I mean: what you say does. Slurring of categories, definitely, and I'll add a very anthropomorphic/centric view of the Universe. It's not the love I react to, though, it's the idea that the Lord of everything is sitting there judging us for petty doings that we at some point have decided are socially unacceptable. Down to interfering with our choice of food, s'help me. Nope.I sense a very strong harmony-seeking force in the Universe. Yin and yang trying to be reconciled, become one. God is to me a Being who has managed to reconcile those two principles in him/herself. One result of this is an acceptance and understanding that may be called love although it's not a kind of love we find "down" here. The principles themselves contain everything including what we call "evil" - but it isn't evil, it just is. It all has its part to play.

Shit - I don't think I explained it very well. Anyway, that's why I find it easy to see all sorts of gods in polytheistic religions as parts or aspects of the divine. They are. They are just seen at a stage at which harmony between them isn't yet created and/or through eyes that can't perceive such harmony because it doesn't exist (yet) in humans.
