I know some facts about THE TRUE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. I can recognize if a presence is Him or not, but when it comes right down to it, wheather we believe in the "right God or not" (notice I'm not so much talking about cultural differences here) that doesn't necessarily mean that we are WORSHIPING the true God. We might just be worshiping the god we want, instead of the God who IS. So, it has occured to me that even though I know facts about the true God, that doesn't necessarily mean I'm truly worshiping him. I could just be worshiping a version of Him I'm making up in my mind to suit my needs and my personal beliefs. I think as humans, most of us create a safe God to worship who conforms to our own ideas of how we should worship Him and what OUR ideas of religion are. So, may I thank you for asking me to clarify and say, what I meant by that was that, while I'm trying to have a realationship with the true God of the universe, I know that as a human I probably fall short of that every day, and I am sure I am worshiping the god I want more than the God who is at least to some extent.
The above was stimulated by negative comments which I chose to delete because they just upset me every time I read them and after careful consideration, I deemed them unconstructive to me personally. I'm leaving this here because it denotes a philisophical struggle I was wrestling with at the time and I don't want to forget where I was at in this moment.
