When you say "Get to Know God" are you talking about the concept of "God" in general or specifically the Christian God outlined in the Christian Bible?

What is Step 1?
For me, GTKG Step 1 is giving up the preconceived concept of God -- understanding history and the literature and thinking that has gone into the creation of modern religion and realizing it is human. Further, embracing science and technology as pathways to bettering our existence and answering questions about the past, present, and future of our time in the universe.
My God is not a person, a spirit, a wind, a cloud, "love" or any of the other concepts. My God is unknown. It is pre-singularity uncertainty -- the possibility and probability of events.
I don't believe any human book can explain it, nor have we reached a point at which we can understand it -- we may someday.
Science will lead us there.
That's Step 1 for me.
(Let me know when I can continue.)
"Look, the Bible is VERY clear. [...] It warns repeatedly against believing what the 'world' says, what the 'wise' of the world, the philosophers or thinkers of the world say." --
