So with all these really cool modern physicists and humanists and theological existentialists out there on this forum, is anyone actually able to discuss God as an individual, singularly different than an enjoined part of one's own flawlessly kept possessive disposition?

Please don't get me wrong on this point, but everything that I have read so far seems to be so self empowered, that the very idea of a deity is dummy downed by the sheer lack of any super natural "other" in the slightest figment of consideration.

It's like peering through a kaleidoscope at all the many different colors of the prism and instead of witnessing “in awe” at the many reflections of coloration facilitating such a beautiful pattern, shirking off the exquisiteness for the mechanics of the science behind it instead.

Is God so easily explained away as this? And this as some notion of a conscious separation within man’s need to picture a structured generality, instead of faithfully acknowledging the infinite possibility which is in fact a vast unknown. An Unknown, where this humanly driven compartmentalized explanation is impossible otherwise?

Please tell me that out there in this wide body of an intellectual forum, there isn’t someone who has developed a theory, which in and of itself explains God in a form by which he (or she or it) has in fact a potency relegated outside of humanities limited understanding of the universe and thus the scientifically driven and all to lacking, "finite" explanation.

I would much rather believe in my “primitive” God than in a human being’s awareness of microbes and particle movement, because when I do begin to enclose my conjecture for lack of really knowing ALL the cosmos, I begin to see the exact personification of the generality I imposed upon the name, “primitive” for others in the first place.

I dare anyone to say, “I have no idea what God truly is, I just know he’s out there and he’s out there for me.”
