No. I said that above.

As for the exact nature and character of the God I believe in, I write full essays on that. I'm not going to engage in reducing that to a comment, especially when your question about the bible indicates that you didn't read what I had already written, whch in simple and plain English said, "My conception of God is not one taught by any religion of which I am aware."

But, I'll answer with this poem from the link I gave you.

"God

So many ask

Why do you allow suffering?

Why should we believe that you exist?

Child, why must I prove existence to you?

Please God

Everyone teases me so

Say I must be mentally ill

Believing in imaginary source of strength in sky

Oh child, why must you fear others’ opinions?

Child,

I love you

Without conditions

But your life is yours to live

Creator, please tell me what is its purpose and meaning?

Oh love

Enigmas last

Humans want proof of All

If I should reveal your purpose

Would you stand atop Solsbury Hill and with courage eagle fly?"

I'm not particularly interested in a debate. That's not why I replied. I replied because your calmer reply to Matthew was pretty much answerable with the yes/no answers you requested from him, so I replied with my answers. You stated your views and you know enough about mine and I don't begrudge you your views and I hope you do not begrudge me mine.
