NinJ,
I have trouble seeing the use in a God outside the role of judge / punisher / rewarder. (Lousy Utah Mormon blackly/whitely thinking on my part, surely.)
So, what use is God to you?
Also, about that black/white thinking that Vincent mentions above. I have a (non-Mormon) aunt who was doing social work in Utah for a while, and I remember her complaining to me once that normally someone in that position would inform cases that black/white thinking is an undesirable thought pattern, but in some cases in Utah it is a cultural value, and it is important for someone in her position to respect cultural values. So, she felt she had quite a dillema.
And I was like, "Obviously black/white thinking is bad! Tell them that!" Which, you know, is kinda funny because it is black/white thinking on my part.
Anyway.
