I don't think the writers had any problem finding a neutral characterization (metaphor) for God. John certainly hadn't, for example. What's curious is how christians mistakenly take their transcendent God to be just another being. As transcendent, God is wholly other, transcends human apprehension and categories. But, I guess, it's tempting to have your own cake and eat it too.

God is unknowable in our present forms, because our forms are imperfect. We are only created in his image, not as copies of him. I'm Christian by habit and faith. I don't knock other people down for having other faiths (all hail Oden) or having none.

Live and let live is my evangelical message from Christ.

Of course, I'm coming to believing that our souls are the interface between this plane of existence and the next dimension, ie we are transdimensional beings who are currently manifested in the here and now physical world as humans (or dolphins... maybe sometimes as kittens ) And God transcends even that.
