Common belief doesn't make said belief true, nor does the literalists translation of 66 separate books.
"The GOD male who is mysterious in nature"
Scriptural reference please.

Scripture reference for mysterious nature of God:
He appeared in a body,
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory.
--I Timothy 3:16
Likewise:
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church.
--Ephesians 5:11-12
AND, I did not say common belief makes it true...you do not read with a critical eye it seems and so you are unable to comprehend the Truth. Here, again, is what I said...
As for the influences of the masses...
I read Scripture as do many if not most in those masses...and in so doing we become a mass with common beliefs.
It is that we hold common a strict adherence to Scripture. Scripture is how God bestows Truth.
