The key to understanding God is to know that while we think we would like to be like Him, ie unique and omnipotent, the correct moral aspiration is to be able to use God for the good of humanity.
This means using God to assist us in our politics, law and government, whether we believe in Him or not, and behaving as if He did exist. If that is too difficult, then imagine a tabloid journalist following you everywhere until you die, so that you modify your behaviour accordingly.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
