I’m a Deist, so I’m going to get right to the primary point of your post that struck me.

I don’t believe in any specific religion’s definition of ‘God’, because even at the most basic level, the concept of ‘God’ is beyond normal human ken. To apply any specific rules or titles to the divine is simply ludicrous.

God simply is, regardless of what Man has chosen to write on paper and claim to be fact.

Organized religions are simply an attempt to control the idea of God for personal gain, or else to create a structure of reference that the human mind can perceive comfortably. That which a Muslim calls Allah is no different than that which a Jew calls Yahweh, or a Christian calls Jehovah. These names mean nothing to an infinite, divine being. They only mean something to Man.

See, that’s my point. I don’t see the difference between a cult and a religion. Yet religious people can recognize and ostracize cults. Why not turn that light of sanity on themselves?
