Is God A Symbolic Concept?

God is symbolic. The incomprehensible truth of life needs to be put into terms humans can understand in order to be put on paper. So what can be created, the bible, is something that can lead you to the truth. They create this GOD concept of a perfected being as an idol that you need to become. Heaven is the happiness you receive when you do good, and hell is the tragedies in your life that come from doing bad things. So you are responsible for the evil you do, but it is in your best interest to become like this god-concept created to show you how to live. God is just a concept of perfection that you strive to achieve. The bible is symbolic and leads to happiness on earth.
