It seems to me that the version of God that Bojulay believes in is more like a force of nature than anything else?
You can't really reason with that entity nor really do anything to effect it. All you can do is either bend to its whims, get out of the way, or be crushed by it.
Is that an accurate description? I'm not saying this in a negative way, btw - I think if there really was some sort of Supreme Being, this would be one of the possible variations of it (ie, one that's all powerful and all knowing, but not benevolent).

Point being that our best understanding of God would probably still be
a simple one.
The bible says that no one has seen God but Christ has declared him.
In other words, look at Christ if you want to get the best picture available.
I don't think the devil wanted to take over for God but rather carve out
his own piece of the pie and be his own boss, after all the universe is
a pretty big place. God wasn't having it though. Who knows maybe the devil
was jealous of Christ himself.
Seems that maybe man has something in common with the devil.
All through the bible you see where God makes choices, some he chooses and
some he doesn't. Doesn't seem all that fair, to which God answers, I am God,
I get to have that right.
Back to my first point, whatever God does and however he chooses to do it,
if he is God, he gets to have that right. Whether we like that concept or not
makes no difference in the final reality of things.
Again I find it kind of odd that we understand that same concept in this world,
be it from bosses, governments, parents, the law, but find it difficult to
accept that the supremist of beings would have that supreme right.
The one who created it all in the first place.
