I don't think we're very far apart at all.
I really don't give a damn what name you give it. Whatever it is, it's big, it's beautiful, it's powerful, and it helps me. I call it God because that's what I'm used to calling it. (I also happen to believe the Bible, but I don't really find it central to my faith. To me, it's a sort of history book/letter from other people who believed in God about God. I believe it's true, but it's not the be all and end all.)
Anyway, it's not names and terms and even thought-patterns that count, it's the bent of your heart (as trite as that may sound) that determines what sort of person you are. Otherwise, ignorant or unintelligent people would never have a chance. So I think that God, or Karma, or the Power, doesn't care what you call It or what you think about the history of the universe, just as long as you aren't fighting It.
Of course there's more to it than this. But what I'm trying to say is, I have no problem with what you believe. I have no problem with what Callei or anyone else here who has a heart believes. I've found kinship, and I think that deep inside, no matter what controversial names or detailing we put on our beliefs, we are on the same wavelength.
On the other hand, I am not anywhere near on the same wavelength as Hitler, (who claimed to be a Christian), or the Christian Coalition, or the administrator of the Bible School I attended for 3 years.
