What people don't seem to understand is that the combined love of people in your life, that is god.
What I feel when I listen to Soul music. That is god.
My family and the time we share with each other. That is god.
God is not up in the sky, separate from life. sitting on a cloud-throne. That's just silliness.
God is not god. God is the magic in our lives, everyday. God is the rocks and the trees and the sky and the rain.
God is in everyone and through everyone and everywhere all around us.
And god is not the right term. "God" is not sufficient. "Shiny Sophia" (borrowed from Em) is closer.
It's just like that book, Old Turtle. One of my favorite books from childhood that makes me cry every time I read it.
So no, god does not "love you more" than your family. God is your family. That is god manifest. Only I hate the word god because of the history of it.
Ok. I'm done.
