I won't deny the power of the holy spirit. i will however deny that He would be willing to send anyone to hell and consider the bible to be something taken with a grain of salt, being the oral traditions of revelation to the Jewish people that got muddy by politics and the concerns of the bronze age.

Rejected gods are just as imaginary as any idol believed in or worshiped.

I don't believe that is true, I think that they are all reflections of the same ultimate truth, distilled and distorted by people's culture. The God of the old testament is one such reflection. For me, I seek a personal bond with the true God, a being of ultimate knowledge. You have to leave your empiricism at the door. Finding God is about letting your spirit guide you. I think Its about personal revelation, feeling the holy spirit within you.
