I'm sure there are students of psychiatry among the members here that could give a thumb nail sketch of 'God' using the bible as reference. If you didn't know it was god who was being described, how would you peg him?

I'm sure when someone says "I believe in angels" to the psychiatrist, they wont think twice about it. But when the word "pixies" is used in place of "angels", it becomes a whole new matter of how many milligrams of anti-psychotics to feed to the patient every 4 hours of so.

I'm sure everyone has heard of God... how can you miss him. If someone uses biblical references I might be able to point him out of a list of names.
