Then it might be best to stop making sense in the way you have learned up to now.

The name of God _*in Hebrew_* isn't taught in Bibles; every time it says "The LORD" (emphasis on capital letters) the name has been omitted. When you take the 4 original _*Hebrew_* letters and stack them up vertically, they look like this:

Like a Human. Jesus says somewhere in the New Testament, to some Religious folk he didn't agree with, "Does it not say in your own text 'You are Gods?'"


 
The start of Genesis says we are "Made in God's image" and the name here reflects that. God is very much _*like_* a human; only, considering another verse "...My thoughts are higher than yours" and another idea; "More is thought in the kingdom of heaven than in your philosophy" - More, not less - "God" has a larger perspective than we on Earth.


 
We have choice in our lives to do whatever. Considering this, somehow I get the feeling we're not supposed to be non-thinking, dictated "robots" either.
 
EDIT: Also, lest anyone start getting scared all of a sudden it says in the book that God is *Unconditional* Love. It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. Sometimes, we people can get all too caught up in our performance to do what's right that we may lose sight of that and fear that we're gonna be drowning in shit.
