As our autonomic nervous system functions without our conscious intervention so Nature functions without God's conscious intervention*.
This is cause and effect** - the Laws of Nature.
And it explains why there are differences between Nature and God.
In ancient times men observed the influences of Nature and ascribed these attributes to the gods.
This is why the gods were cruel and indifferent.
But God is transcendent.
God cares about our suffering.
God is merciful and forgiving.
And God's inmost nature is Love.
(* It has been said that the universe is God's body.)
(** This cannot, however, be applied to our experience as human beings. This is governed by fear and ignorance and the reactions of other human beings around us.)
