Correct.
Not your version of Him.because he doesn't exist.
Not your version of Him.
Lame.I just believe in one less than you do.
Lame.
What interests me is how others see/perceive God. God is either perceived as a being somehow greater, or the perception is there is nothing greater than what we have and what we are in this life.
Others perceived something whereas you don't. That's the difference.
you cannot understand the bible.It's in the Bible, that's the point.
Okay, good thing we don't stone people for saying "God Damn It" or speaking Yahweh's name, or picking up stick on the sabbath like the bible says to.
Yes, what a crazy idea, treating minorities, women, and people of different sexual orientations with respect.
We need to do what the Old School Catholics did when little Timmy started singing show tunes, or when Sally decided she liked other girls. Ship them off the Holy Orders. Then when Fr. Timmy starts molesting kids or Sr. Mary Butch starts tormenting the Children she could never have, we can cover it all up.
Oh, wait. No, thankfully, the "Woke" crowd is just letting gay folks be who they are, and the only people joining the Holy Orders are the real fanatics and the NAMBLA types.
No, I base my perceptions on empirical evidence.
Sure, I'd love for there to be a sunshine heaven where we are all united with our dead loved ones and childhood dogs.
There's just no evidence that it exists.

1st Corinthians 2:14 says this, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
The unbeliever is the natural man. He cannot understand spiritual things because he uses human wisdom to explain scripture.
Answer
Of all the topics found in the pages of Scriptures, none is so loathsome and dreadful as the subject of hell, yet we dare not be blinded by ignorance, repulsion, or unbelief, for hell is a frightening reality that ought not be dismissed on the grounds of fear or unpleasantness. Despite the objections of some, the flames of hell will not be extinguished by clever Scripture twisting or wishful thinking. The Bible has much to say about hell, and neither ignorance nor denial will cause this grim reality to go away.
It depends. For example, if one looks only at a pure drop of water, the conclusion is that only hydrogen and oxygen exist. Consider, "Is my microcosm of evidence too small?" Is there more to the universe than evidence, which is physical matter?No, I base my perceptions on empirical evidence.

Empirical evidence like the universe popping into existence from nothing being hardwired to produce intelligence? Empirical evidence like that?No, I base my perceptions on empirical evidence.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Romans 1:20)As Mark Twain said, it's not the parts of the Bible that I don't understand that trouble me, it's the parts I understand perfectly well.
Here's the problem.. our images of Hell and Satan have more to do with Dante and Milton than anything in the Bible.
You can't prove Hell exists any more than you can prove Heaven exists.
get back to me when you have proof.
