One certainly has to admire intelectual acrobatics Og does over New Testament to convince us there's no personal God in there
| Can't take the credit here. Many theologians/mythologists/scientists and even people who knew jesus interpret the NT in this manner. See Carl Sagan, Joseph Campbell, and the gnostic/coptic gospels uncovered in the dead sea and nag hamadi in the past century. Also see the works of modern physical science and archaeologists illustrating connectivity of the myths of the world.
The acrobatics involve the church keeping their people in ignorance in a world where borders and boundaries are falling.
