An idea of god that I found striking was in Louis L'Amour's The Lonesome Gods. All the discarded gods of history, forgotten, unworshipped, lonely. Left behind with no one remembering what purpose they served, or what need they filled in humankind.

Dawkins in awesome, I have read all his books and got Ancestor's Tale signed when he was here in Houston over the summer.

Lucky you. I really enjoyed that book.

Consider how there are given
many great and holy books.
Why, therefore,
has the house of Christ
... behaved presumptuously?
For they have proclaimed to the world
that the Bible is the greater,
being the only word of God
unto the children of men;
while all others are false and filled with evil
Why have the preachers of religion proclaimed aloud
that except a man be of the house of Christ,
they shall perish forever in great torment?
Truly I speak unto you the will of the Father,
that there shall not be so much as one child
to perish by reason of such priestcrafts as these men proclaim
For the love of the Father is sufficient
even unto the weakest of the children of men
Wisdom 26:23-26 ...

They all do that.
This makes spaghetti monster angry. Do not make spaghetti monster angry. You wouldn't like him when he is angry.
The always present, all knowing, all powerful, benevolent imposter
If you really believe...
that the imposter god of man's Bible is Sovereign
and in total control of everything…
that has happened, is happening, or will happen in the future
then you have no choice but to believe,
that he is also-totally responsible for absolutely every tragedy
that occurs upon this planet earth and upon its inhabitants
One might ask-
Where is this-always present, all knowing, all powerful, benevolent imposter
when children are kidnapped, raped, and murdered
or
when a house fire kills three out of four children-
leaving the forth child alive, but burned beyond recognition
Did he bring these things about..
which immediately precludes (does away with)
his being benevolent-caring for us and about us
Was he actually present, watching these things happen and yet did nothing
Is he really all powerful and yet didn't lift a finger
to help the children above when there was no one else to help them
Is this imposter actually a two-faced god...
who wears a mask of being angry, wrathful, vengeful and jealous
who wears a mask of being loving, merciful, forgiving, and kind
Does he welcome your questions about him and his rule
or is he a dictator of "unrighteous dominion"
demanding your blind obedience
based upon a solid foundation of fear
How long will you close your eyes pretending not to see-
that there is something seriously wrong with this picture
and so many of the things you have been brainwashed to believe
Come meet the real God... read my writings and rejoice!!
I agree with every sentence except for the last one.
