It is only when we begin to truly love G-D that we can rise above this inhumanity.

HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart; and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. [JPS]

It seems to me that one must have the 'correct' G-D in mind - not just 'any god' will do.
