If a number of theistic authors, who are not apart of any major organized religion, were to write books composed each of 1,000 short poems about God, but attached no particular religious affiliation to God, then a flourishing of literature would form and many quotables would emerge for general audiences, eliminating the need to draw on documents such as the Bible, Koran or Torah that carry with them connotative beliefs unacceptable to many readers. I for one would endeavor to do this. Would any of the readers be interested in this? DE

The problem is that few, if any, persons who believe any god are not
strongly attached to belief in only one of them as supreme god.
