"The last 15 min of the first lesson and the first 15 of the second makes the point that the personal nature of God is a distinctively Christian concept."

I haven't had a chance to listen to your link but I can tell you that you are flying with a broken wing. Take a look at the thousands of religions and try something novel: THINK FOR YOURSELF.

Now as to this nonsense about God: God is merely an idea like the unicorn or the 826-toed sloth that transported people between different universes after they crossed that "REAL" (idea) river Styx?!! :-)

God is that idea than which "greater" than we cannot conceive. Given that "greater" no longer has any argumentative force in cosmological terms, we can yet appreciate how it informed the idea of "God". The Greek Pantheon was full of "personal" gods. What would one expect? Their "idea" of god was commensurate with their idea of power or Supremacy. What I call the power to aggrieve or relieve.

This does not mean there are not greater beings in this or other universes, places, or times. It just means the idea of God being currently and (religiously) smothered in useless polemics is merely an idea with no evidential value or support of any kind. It is nonsense, pure and simple.
