Who but a person can express anything about any God?

They are all man made.

If we define God, as the best rules and laws we can find to follow, then that ideal, whatever it is, is your God.

We all have an ideal, call it God or whatever you like.

Just be Gnostic Christian about it and be willing to scrap a law if a better one comes along.

That is how you will spot a wise Gnostic Christian, --- and reject the brain dead supernatural Christian believers who end in calling an evil Yahweh good.
