"How is it unconditional love if I am expected to believe in someone I've never met or I will suffer for all of eternity?" Is that not a condition?
Anyways, that left me to wonder what God actually is. Well, I always loved calling our creator Father, mainly because my dad was really not a great fatherly role so I daydreamed of what a great father would be like. But I have come to realize that the creator is so much more.
My best understanding is that he/she/it created all that is with a certain set of laws and then allowed it to evolve it's own consciousness. Is this an accurate assessment?
I understand we will all perceive God in our own ways, but I just wanted to hear other's take or experiences with the Creator

Hi there, I'd like to share a little in response. I approached Christianity in a way that I read and learned apart from others and the words of Jesus simply blew me away. I've since crossed over to other shores but I really value that time which lasted about 10 years.
I've experienced what I call God in many ways and I am wondering if you have also.
I don't really know what God is but I know there is something.
I find that God can be elusive so I've learned to see God in me. In doing so I also see the desire for God to be something I can relate to outside of me. That may just be wishful thinking though lol
