Oh, that hardline Republican version of God is a nasty one, all right! ;-) I would not want to meet "Him" in a dark alley, that's for sure.

If I was going to believe in a God that was a humanoid figure of some kind, then I would choose to have a female God who looks kind of like I imagine Joan of Arc...or Lady Arwen from Lord of the Rings. Much nicer in every way. She would deliver some tough lectures from time to time if necessary, but no one would be cast into any kind of a hell, that's for sure.
