It is not because we have found strong evidence that the Earth is NOT flat, that Earth has disappeared. We just correct our theory of Earth. Why couldn't we do that with the notion of God?' ------------ The God of Abrahamic faiths is the Deity. We believe that He is the only God from time immemorial. All prophets preceding Abraham also spoke of the same God. Unfortunately, over ages most belief systems degenerate into a pantheon of gods 'in the image of humans'. The God I believe in is the majestic, indescribable, unimaginable, majestic Creator and Sustainer of everything. Unfortunately, instead of focussing on and understanding God's message of love and justice, people misunderstand the warnings of not qualifying for Heaven and blame / reject a God who warns of Hell as the consequence of injustice. Rejecting God won't make any difference to God or His plan. We need Him and His guidance, not the other way round!
