I offer that a true force of love, personified or not, wouldn't be concerned with power and glory.
Nor would it work through threats. Fear earns power, and displays of strength earn praise. Love is never, ever required from either side in an arrangement like this.
They've taken the quiet, humble Source and perverted it into the image of something that doesn't need love to operate in the world!

The more I think about these well-overlooked traits of this world's favorite personifications of the higher nature of the universe, the more disturbed I become. Why do people orchestrate deities like this for themselves? They've taken the quiet, humble Source and perverted it into the image of something that doesn't need love to operate in the world!
What's more, if you mention that you are joyfully meditating in... the Source, I suppose I'll call it... you are told that you're being deceived by a false god. A simple force of love is called evil, while power-mad leaders are revered as the very personification of purity if their resume includes participating in the creation of the world and multitudes of its lowly worshipers.
Hello, System Lord Apophis!edit on 6-12-2012 by EllaMarina because: (no reason given)
That He is not to the believer, He is to the disbeliever.
So,
The Omnipotent Being who created the Universe is like a fly or a pushover?
Is that what your "Source" is defined as?
The God I know has to be IMMENSELY POWERful, ya know, to set a whole Universe in motion and create a Universal Big Bang and everything.....
Only when power is released one is able to learn. Do not be afraid. Break out of that prison.
