Quite fond of Thor. I saw an avalanche while hiking in Norway a couple years ago (sounded like thunder), and I was like "a-ha. I get it".
Izinagi and Izinami have caught my attention as well. The whole 'brine spear' thing does it for me.
Buddha seems like fun (pretty peaceful), and I think Jesus would have been alright with me if we had a chance to hang out.
Shiva seems overly violent.
The Allah/Jehovah diad are like big tough guys, able to create and destroy at a whim (except they stopped talking to us a couple thousand years ago). They give us quasi free will, then punish the hell out of us for wrong-doing. That's a real challenge. They're like really stern, gruff dads who only hug you when you do
exactly what they want. Is that actually free will?
Personally I think God is Mystery - always has been and always will be. With that as my definition, I do very much believe in God. Science is in the business of description (alone), and what it describes is at the fundament still
unknowable - being able to identify and predict the movement of an electron does not give answer to its existence - it only describes and labels. Science is in the business of labeling Mystery. Therefore, Science is a descriptor of God. That's a noble effort.
So ultimately I am an unshakeable believer in God. I also militantly believe that no person can ever corner the market on the true path to God (although God knows we try...). To actually believe you know the one path is (to me) to have carved definition out of the undefineable. Which is of course impossible.
Thanks for asking!
