Each of us essentially is telling, or creating a story called God. Now that is not to say that God is simply a story. I dont think that at all. I do however think for all of us, God is nuanced by the ideas either presented or imposed upon us, or something we devised based on a variety of influneces… whatever it is… we create a story about God, about ourselves… about how the universe works. That story then essentially plays out in our life
