Sounds to me like you want to believe in a god as you see God and not believe in what God is. It's like someone believing I have purple hair and pink eyes because they like the colors pink and purple. Just because you want God to be a certain way and fit in to your beliefs doesn't mean that is who God is. Somethings are hard to accept that I read in the Bible, but none the less I have to realize it is God and it is His universe, it is not up to me to define God but to find out who He is, not what I'd like Him to be.

Why not? If you've never actually met the guy, and the entire thing is based on faith, why can't you give him the personality and ideas you think are correct and best for him to make you happy? Why does everyone in the Christian or God-believing religion have to think of God as the exact same God? You got your own thing going on and I respect that, but I think more Christians should feel free believe in what makes them happy, not what the bible and the church says is correct. I've met quite a few people who wish God were different, but can't see him any other way that what they've been brought up to believe through years and years of sunday school, church, and people telling them any other idea is wrong.
I've met parents who do that to their poor kids.
