It's clear that your god with a little g is an impersonal force of some kind. That sir puts you outside the camp with the Pagans, the Pantheists and Mathew Fox.

"I never said I didn't believe god created the universe"

Your god is nothing but a figment of your imagination. You've simply made "it" up out of whole cloth

"your "personal god"... which, no I wouldn't expect to find an official Catholic document about it (AS I SAID), since they probably wouldn't know what the hell you're talking about!!"

You're deluding yourself if you think you can reject the personal God of the Bible (the same one that is reiterated in all the creeds that are binding on Catholics) and still be a Christian. Try getting a position as even a Sunday school teacher with such a ridiculous position. Try replacing all the personal references to God and Jesus in the Nicene Creed with your impersonal force and see if it makes any sense It doesn't!

I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost
of the Virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried;
and the third day he rose again
according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of the Father;
and he shall come again, with glory,
to judge both the quick and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life,
who proceedeth from the Father [and the Son];
who with the Father and the Son together
is worshipped and glorified;
who spake by the Prophets.
And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church;
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;
and I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. AMEN.

Mathew Fox (the defrocked) BTW teaches that God is an impersonal force and is always going on about mysticism and Meister Eckhart just like you. I mentioned him to show you what the Church thinks about the kind of nonsense that you are spouting on this thread.
