To God, is a 'person' an anomaly?
My personality, character etc. Is it an anomaly to God? Some people cannot conceive God as a person. To them He is cosmic consciousness.
I am starting to feel like a fish out of water, with my strong personality and mind etc.

I'm not very spiritual, but didn't God create all of us in his image? Even the most extreme possibilities have to be something that's part of his design in my opinion.
I don't think your strong personality would be something that's out of line regarding His plans. As long as it doesn't affect the way you treat others around you, for instance.
Hope this makes sense.

Honza,
IMO it is not an anomaly to God. We see ourselves as anomalies to each other but to God we cannot be seen this way. Psalm 139:14….”I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”. To be wonderfully made means that we are unique. ‘No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main” John Donne….
So God made us to be a part of the whole….this is non-duality. The little toe is an anomaly to the heart, etc. But is part of the whole….perhaps it is better not to view ourselves as anomalies but rather to be humbled to know that we are personally integral parts of the whole…..

I suspect many do not even believe in God.
And I suspect those who believe in God/god/Gods/gods..... have a hard time being able to relate to other about their deities.
For example: Is the Christian God the same as the Jewish God?

I think there is a principle that to god's eyes all things are perfect,
not sure...
my teacher on theology (and religions) was saying simply that God is love..

to me god created everything so that they are already perfect and don't have to change to be perfect, and yet part of the perfection is itself the fact that things can change and grow.

for me my concept of god has changed and evolved over the meany years
it defiantly dose not fit in any of the human made labels or meanings of god
but i do see bits of it in them
but most important i see the glory in world all the time it just awesome
i know how i see god now will change as my understanding grows
