God - however you perceive God - male - female - adult - child - horse -
bird - or indeed even cardboard box is not really anything to do with
religion.
God is to do with music and pleasure and love and nature and harmony and
drugs and intelligence and great humour and interest and bliss and all kinds
of thing.
Although there are stories and religious interpretations of God - they are
not really as broad or expansive as how it is and cannot really explain the
nature of the concept of God.
To find God - you need only look at the sky - and say "I wonder why there are
clouds and how or why they are so lovely?"
The nature of God is not do to with salvation and suffering and sin and
purgatory and these kind of religious notions.
God is more to do with the sound of the wind - how it makes you feel nice and
safe indoors on a windy rainy day - and beautiful music you hear sometimes in
your dreams - or echoes here and there on the radio.
Humans should learn to drop the serious religious notions of God - and
embrace the truth for what it is.

Indeed.
There is no replacement for love and sympathy and kindness. And the time
taken to understand and help - rather than abrupt diagnosis and the chemical
dismissal.

And indeed as you say - there are many places where you will not find God.
You won't find him either in selfishness or spite or cruelty or art that is
ugly and purely created for mercenary means and in many other sectors and
places which still do exist on Earth.
But you will certainly find him in the windswept landscapes of Antarctica.

God is not an old man with a beard or anything like this.
He loves children - and children are drawn to him and love him and trust him
completely.
They have no fear of God as some grown ups do.
In Heaven at Christmas he sometimes dons a white beard and appears as Father
Christmas.
The children squeal with delight!
"It is the REAL Father Christmas" they say.
And he has them all singing and dancing merrily.
A question many children ask when they see someone in a long white beard who
says they are Father Christmas is
"Are you the REAL Father Christmas?"
But they are always disappointed as in their hearts they know how the real
one goes.
Even in heaven God cannot be Father Christmas every year - and replacements
are quite good and the children very happy as people are always happy in
heaven...

Humans really do have their own heaven.
You should really stop all this cosmic this and universe that - these kind of
words are far too big for you - the same as religion is far too serious.
There is no jesus wandering around - it is more a presence that everyone
knows there is a God and that there in heaven - there is only love and
everyone is happy.
The understanding of God and so many parts of God that you do not know of and
the eternal kindness that extends toward all living things in that there is
never any fear that you would be "left out" or that anyone would not get to
heaven for anything they have done.
WHATEVER you have done you will receive only love and it is this kind of
immense gratitude that in many ways causes the happiness in heaven - that
sinners and murderers are...
