Unfortunately, tho Ray has written about that ("...God thumb-prints Thee, be not another..."} he has no specific understanding on who that might be. To Bradbury, God is mostly undefined. Undefined because according to Bradbury, GOD includes being YOU. This now culturally popular notion that includes the 'me' generation and the world where absolutes do not exist, has become a part of Bradbury's ideology.
Tho God's character is found in the details of the works of Bradbury, Bradbury is comfortable to see otherwise.

Teh, do yourself a huge favor and run, don't walk to your nearest library and pick up any Ray Bradbury book, open it, and start reading it, now, in order to get and hold onto a life, just a friendly suggestion in order to keep you from continuing down this path of bordom your currently treading...

Whys he saying this about Ray Bradbury, he must be one of those people that doesn't ever read just sits on the couch and watches old television reruns until he dies.
