Jane:
Assuming God exists, then the various representations of Him (or, Them!) are far too radically different for some of them to not be more accurate than others.
The differences are just too profound. And, please note, that some of those differences involve obvious moral superiority. The Baal Hammon of the Carthaginians required children sacrificed in fire before his altar by tens of thousands annually; I think all agree that Yahweh, and Allah, and the nonexistent deity of Materialists, are morally superior to that.
So, physician, heal thyself: Take your own advice, and engage in mature discourse. Any adult willing to contemplate the topic without submitting his/her intellectual honesty to a fetish of multicultural pablum must acknowledge that some views of God are necessarily superior to others. Once that fact is courageously and honestly faced, the next logical (if uncomfortable) question is: Which is superior, which is inferior?
In addressing that question, some arguments (and arguers) are comparatively mindless, some well-reasoned. Moreover, which is which is often occluded by the fact that the well-reasoned arguments are not always well articulated!
We have a mix of all of the above in this thread. The best practice, perhaps, is to ignore the more mindless ones and engage the well-reasoned ones.
And that would be a truly, respectably, adult conversation.
