in many instances men themselves i.e. hercules, but even the ancient greeks realized the limitations
of their understanding and included an «unknown» God
in their worship structure.many cultures did likewise, having a glimpse
of God but not the fullness
of understanding that was given to the Jews.Whether or not «we» believe, does not alter the fact that God exists as an unique being, whether or not «we» acknowledge Him «we» will stand before Him.You do not choose to understand, but we are actually standing
in His presence right now as He is much bigger than the doctrines and knowledge man ascribes to Him those things you find so questionable are the misconceptions and misrepresentations

Because
of God's transcendence it would be mythological to refer to God's action
in terms appropriate only to objects available,

event.

of God, but I would wish to affirm both God's transcendence
