But if you try not to define God as a person
I don't, I see it as an all encompassing rule of the universe.
Simply referring to that rule as a 'god' personifies it.
Either it simply is, or it isn't, how we perceive that is impacted by the facts of our viewpoint's perspective.
While it, the rule, is impacted not at all, presuming it to exist.
Magnetic resonance frequencies give me no indication of humanly rules.
IF we are all one, all the same stardust, then there is no separation between humanness and the frequencies that shape it.
The frequencies make us human and our being human impacts the frequencies.
A symbiotic whole.
I have authority over my young child.
You take authority, and the crowd around you reinforces that taking as 'good'.
You have only the authority you take, IF we are all equal.
I don't see that as all bad, but most of the problems in the world stem from this taking of authority over others.
This thinking that we are the ultimate rule for another in the universe.
Causing interactions to be forced and not voluntary.
Making lies more profitable than truth.
Responsibility is what you have when you bring children into the world.
Now, if you take God out of the picture,
I don't, I just don't see it as anthropomorphic, I see it as an inviolable rule.
We can follow the rule voluntarily, or we live the consequences of being contrary to the purpose of the universe that birthed us.
You can't have 'good' without 'bad'.
Which is which is a matter of perspective and purpose, imo.
Perhaps, neutral is the option most preferred by the universe.
And, perhaps not.
