At least with me I have to include myself in what I say

What on Earth are you on about? Every claim or argument I make - whether it be about faith or subjectivity or the human condition or morality or whatever - it applies to and includes myself too. What makes you pretend to think that I think it doesn't?

Looks like I corrected it before you wrote about it,

I think it's a bit of sonship-style Philippians 3:8 banter.

And then God disappeared from the universe and you were not.

I lost my Christian faith. I am open-minded about there being a creator entity but I don't find the anthropological and anthropomorphized trappings draped over such an entity, whether it be by Jews or Hindus or Sikhs or Christians or Muslims or whoever, to be credible.

So, what "disappeared" from my life was the effect of believing specifically in one or any of those God figures.

The notion that there may be a creator entity did not "disappear from the universe".

I understand 100% that your faith makes you believe in a "God who reaches to man" like the one you describe exists. And I understand 100% that your faith impacts your life in innumerable and immeasurable ways.
