So, What About God???

This is in response to several emails that I recieved from people who were commenting on my blog about God.
First, to my friend, the athiest, I was really impressed with your knowledge about church history. I really think you are quite theological in spite of what you say. I was impressed.
God is really cool in so many ways. God, lets us be to do whatever we will. I am often reminded of the Christian writer from the Enlightment who talked about God being like a watch-maker. God created the universe, humanity, and everything else, winded the clock and took a step back, and let it go. I do not know if that is something I agree with, but I find it interesting.
Another commented; My cousin in Mass. She depicted a faithful and loving God that I have come to connect with. I sometimes still struggle with that, although the alternative is a mean and nasty god that really has it out for us.
God, spirit, peace is in many ways to me acceptance of myself and others. In the New Testament, Jesus is to have said to "...love God and love one another as you love yourself." Seems to me that has a lot of acceptance in it.
Hope this is not just a bunch of jibberish.
I do think that to be "godly" you must have the ability to love others and self. If you cannot do that, then in my book, what is life all about?
