I have never understood how we can turn our will and our lives over to an object either, Least.

As for the "as we understood him" part, I take it mean it doesn't have to be the same God as anyone else's not that we actually understand God. So, it can be our personal conception of God, not necessarily the God of any religion.

I have already made a total hash of posting about step 3 in the secular forum so I will bow out now and just read others views, lol.
