God in the Bible and God outside the Bible

God in the Bible means God from His own revelation about Himself and what He wants mankind to do to earn His love.

God outside the Bible means God as mankind can and does know Him to exist, by mankind's reason and intelligence.

So, we can call God in the Bble as the God of supernature, while we can call God as mankind can and does know Him to exist, by mankind's reason and intelligence, as the God of nature.

Believers in the God of supernature expect God to work miracles, like commanding the sun (earth) to stop moving, while fans of the God of nature are happy that God created nature and is in control of nature.

Now, what is natutre? Nature is what mankind encounters everyday and everywhere and everytime, namely: the regular events of say sunshine and rain and the air and the seas and mankind itself i.e. humans like you and me, and everything else not made by mankind.

After death, what is the lot of believers in the God of the Bible i.e. the God of supernature, believers will enjoy everlasting life.

What about the fans of the God of nature? They could hope to come back to life again.

Are you two atheists or what do you call yourselves?

I ask you, were you once previously fundamentalist Bible Christians?

If so, then I would describe you as biblical atheists, i.e. you are against God as described in the Bible.

What about God as mankind's reason and intelligence can and does know to exist: since you two though biblical atheists, still you continue to have the faculties of reason and intelligence, so what do you say about the regular order of nature, doesn't it implicate the existence of God as the creator and operator of nature?

what do you call yourselves

some of us dont need a label or to join some cult group to have a good moral ethical life

what do you say about the regular order of nature, doesn't it implicate the existence of God as the creator and operator of nature?

this is such a common misconception, based on projecting what We are, Doers and makers on the whole universe

the order you see is from the UNALTERABLE laws of nature
that you need a bronze age murderous genocidal sky father to not freak out at how immense reality is
