On a personal note . . .

I think that much of the many concepts of "God/Gods" seem to be the product of man in a very early primitive stage of our existence.

Because of this, many have inconsistencies in the description or character assigned to them, and many things attributed to a God/Gods seem out of character for a being that is usually depicted as "Perfect" and a creator of "Perfect things".

No, I do not. I  believe that many people have twisted the teachings of many peaceful religions to promote their own agendas. It 8s those people who are "mental cases".

god is a particle not a person.

You are the god you seek.

No.

But I suspect many of those who think that are actually mental cases themselves.

Do you think God is a
mental case?

============================================================

I think our portrayal of Him sometimes makes Him appear so. Take this for example. It is one of many :

This is apparently God's recommended method for us to find out for sure if a woman has committed adultery. The priest “must take some holy water
in a clay jar and pour into it dust he has taken from the Tabernacle floor” He
must write prescribed “curses on a piece of leather and wash them off into the
bitter water. He will make the woman drink the bitter water” And if the woman
has committed adultery, after she drinks it, the curse will enter her body, the
stomach will swell, the thigh will rot, and she shall be cursed by the people.
If the woman has not committed adultery, she will remain clean and she will
bear the seed.

Christ fulfilled the old law, and instituted a new one.

Guess you didn't notice that.

But admittedly hard to do when you don't comprehend a triune God.

"Guess you didn't notice that." - when you've seen that card trick with words many times then you can't fail to notice it. You learn to say, "not so fast, friend" coz you know there is a wrong word there that renders the sentence "Christ fulfilled the old law, and instituted a new one." meaningless. The sentence makes sense if it says "Christ abolished the old law, and instituted a new one." However, the problem here is that Jesus made it very clear that he hadn't come to destroy or abolish the old law. In fact he issued a stark warning to those who break even the least of the law that they will be considered least in the kingdom of heaven.

"you don't comprehend a triune God." and I have yet to come across anyone who does. Many tell themselves they do, but after numerous failed attempts to explain their "comprehension" end up saying that it is "a divine mystery."

My most recent comment to your other response will quite adequately serve to address this response of yours as well..
