And so if there's no God or an indifferent God, that's fine with me. I live my life with no reference to or dependence on religious beliefs anyway, and I'm very happy without them.-I'm also very happy without religious pronouncements on the nature of God or the expectations from him. -1) We cannot know His personality. If we are made in His image in our minds, then He is like us as you observe, but even of this we cannot be sure.-2) BUT, we are alive, and we are given the gift of life, of thought, of Mozart. I find life a joyous gift. Dayenu! It is enough, by itself to say thank you to a universal intelligence.-3) I feel (not know) that I communicate with the universal intelligence, of which I am a very small part. I do receive emotional pleasure from that. And for some reason I am very satisfied with that position.-4) And I receive pleasure from continuing to present my position to fence-sitters and others. It is a shame they cannot feel what I feel.
