    Who told you God is omnipotent and above humans? Who told you he or she has emotions, or smites or becomes upset or wrathful?

    Any God worth naming as such is so beyond such concepts as to be entirely inscrutable. It’s people that ascribe such characteristics, usually to influence other people. In any case, it comes from an inclination to anthropomorphize the unknown, to rationalize non-human phenomena through a familiar human lens. The conflict isn’t in God, it’s in God’s self-appointed biographers.

      “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.“
