there is this expression in India which is "neti neti" which apparently means "not this, not that" and it means that whatever you think god is, its not that. whenever you think you finally understand, you don't. its the ego of men that makes them want to own the definitive version of god and even speak in its name. for this reason I consider the bible to be one of the most blasphemous books ever written because it has the audacity to speak as if it were the word of god when its nothing but the words of men. christians wave their fake humility with one hand and with the other they want to educate you on what the creator thinks. really humble. not knowing is the most humble attitude and the most respectful towards a god that might or might not exist.

In America, one can base a religion on anything one chooses, we have freedom of religion.
I choose to approach "God" as having no gender and no sexuality. God just is, and is the creator of the Universe.

I try to find the most accurate translated versions that I can, both in language and in context. Beyond that, I really just try to follow the words of Jesus that many people that call themselves Christians seem to feel fine to ignore in favor of Old Testament stuff. Baffles me, honestly.
