The only God worth caring about is the God of the Baptists, who cares whether I steal or bear false witness or commit adultery.

I don't believe that kind of God exists.

All this "life force" bullshit is not God because it doesn't satisfy the western concept of what God is.

When we in the West use the term "God," we are talking about a *theistic* God. "Theism" is the belief that God is essentially a person, by which is meant, not a human being (though most Western religions believe that man is in the image of God), but a thinking, emotional, intentional being who has human-like designs, cares, and desires.
