Religion is one thing, but a relationship with the God who made you is something else entirely. There *is* a difference.
Why would you want a personal relationship with this guy:
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
Do you have any 'original' thoughts on this matter antelope_sniper...?

One would expect something other than verbatim plagierism from one who has boasted about having "more developed logic and reasoning skills" than others...!
