I disagree with the "(almost all of them)". True, since a long time, in
Occident, the main religions are based on such a "God", probably
because he looks like the "terrifying father", very useful to
manipulate people by fear and terror.
But this is contingent, and eventually I take that sad contingent truth
as a supplementary motivation to come back on "serious theology", by
which I mean 3-person sharable theology (even if such a theology does
talk about first person unsharable notion).
