Dhw: Your own attempt at neutrality in relation to the character of God is always interesting. The existence of God then becomes more of an intellectual exercise, to solve the mystery of how we got here. If I were satisfied with your solution of “God did it”, I would still want to know why he did it, and I would also want to know what relevance he has for US. If he has none (i.e. if he is an uncaring deist God), then he might as well not exist anyway.-I use my approach of neutrality because I don't accept religion's views of His personality. I don't accept the Bible's descriptions because they are manmade, and God is not telling me directly. God is purposefully hidden. Therefore I'm stuck with what I have.
