Wow... you didnt even answer my questions or acknowledge my points...
The creator is a english word that probably has nothing to do with the original meaning of god...
I am sure you have heard that when the bible was translated the word god's was changed to singular...
I am not sure how you can say that oneness or the universal center of energy is not also related to what the metaphorical meaning of the bible says.
here is a nice poem about religion
Opiate by: Tool
Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
what you need is someone strong to use you..
like me,
like me.
If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me .
Don't judge or question.
You are broken now ,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.
My Gods will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
and your lies.

My wife (who is Chinese) studied Confucianism all her life and will be the first to tell you this. She will also tell you that Chinese philosophies rarely (if ever) touch on the Creator. Strangely, her Confucianism has also led her to the bible.
Talk to me when you learn something you didn't read from someone else with an agenda.
