God should be not impersonated. He should not be described with human vocabulary.

to me he does not exist . why ? because...
What is now called the Bible started out as a series of writings based on very old myths and legends. These have since been re-written, modified, added to and translated many times. Is it therefor fair to call the Bible the inerrant word of God?
The earliest writings of the Old Testament were written around 1850 BCE. Theses were stories borrowed from the older writings of the Epic of Gilgamesh.
First Great Revision of Judaism about 1200 B.C.E. The myth of Exodus was included in the revision, transformed as it was from the older story of the expulsion of the Hyksos
Second and third revisions, 742 – 600 BCE the many gods of the Old Testament are harmonized into a singular being _ Yahweh
The Fourth Great Revision 586 B.C.E. to 538 B.C.E.
The Fifth Great Revision of Judaism 323 B.C.E. to 45 C.E. under Greek influence
The Last Great Revision of Judaism 30 C.E. to appx. 73 C.E
50 C.E. to 140 C.E. The Jesus Movement suddenly and quickly transformed itself from a social and political reform movement into a full-blown religion.
The Gospels: Mythmaking Begins in Ernest. Myths and miracles added to the bible 65 C.E. to appx. 120 C.E.
Emperor Constantine 313 C.E. to appx. 430 C.E. demanded that the bishops at the First Council of Nicea come up with a consistent, catholic doctrine that would be universal. This is where the word Catholicism comes from.
320 C.E. to 1330 C.E. Emperor Constantine ordered Eusebius to put together some scriptures for him to present to the new churches he was constructing at his new capital of Constantinople in time for his new festival of the resurrection, to be called "Easter”.
The Protestant Revision and the English Bibles 1330 to 1611. John Wycliffe organized the translation of the Bible into English.
The King James Bible version first appeared in 1611. Though the frontispiece written by the conference declares it to be a new translation, that's not really what it was. In fact, it was a revision of the Bishop's Bible of 1602, which itself was a revision of the Bishop's Bible of 1568, which was a revision of Coverdale's less than scholarly Great Bible, which was a rewrite of the Tyndale and Wycliffe works.

God IS NOT a religion of any sort. It is merely a name for something greater then ourselves. It is idiotic to think we appeared out of thin air but equally as stupid to think that we owe something so much greater then ourselves anything in return such as praise, sacrifice, or the precious time we have left as conscience human beings.

He is the creator of all. Full of love and perfect in every way. Everything impossible for Him is possible. He is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. He is the only friend whom you can count on always and never doubt. He will always be there for you no matter what.

The Toa is like a well:
Used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
Filled with infinite possibilities.
It is hidden but always present.
I don’t know who gave birth to it.
It is older than God.
