8. My God is not mean...
I look at the story of creation, and I think of the creation of free will. We humans evolved to a point that we wanted more than universal governance. The decision of woman to eat the apple, that God made available, was symbolic in the creation of man's "power" over the earth. God doesn't make bad things happen and he doesn't hide. He just stands by his promise made to man when man opted for free will. We have the power to change things or destroy them. In my opinion, Jesus is the Son of God, Buddha is the enlightened one and Mohammad is the great prophet, all gifts from God to man to help us make our way. The belief in one does not have to be exclusive, only if man chooses to do this.

So there's my two cents worth.
