What do you veiw God as? Big guy with a white beard? spritual being? Alanis Morisette? (sorry, i just saw Dogma)

As a hindu, I beleive God is this Infinite Cosmic Spirit that is in everything. i beleive that God isnt something we can comprehend in our minds cause our minds are finite, and trying to comprehend God would be like making a fish in a pond to comtemplate on Neptune or somthing.

So what do you guys think?

I don't think there is a "God".

I think God could be a cause that cannot be measured, understood, or proved, but that needs to be assumed to explain effects that we see.

God would be like mathematics, it is not measured or observed, and you could say it does not even exist, but it needs to be assumed if you want to explain things that are observed, and exist.

God would be an unmeasurable cause, that originates mearurable effects that is reality.

For me St. Anselm in his writtings hit the nail with this:

"God is that than which no greater can be thought.."

To further add I think that God (being) is pure energy. Kinda like The Force in SW.

Favorite expression:
"God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."
---Voltaire

Favorite metaphor:
Dreamer-and-Dream

Favorite overuse of adverbs and adjectives:
Infinitely infinite, unimaginably unimaginable, ineffably ineffable

............Like us.


...........Like me then.......

I'm very much in line with this way of thinking but......this fits no description of any god ever given, so how does the very term "god" apply to this way of thinking? Wouldn't any other nonsensical combination of letters like akjnabao be more sufficient as they do not come with a pre-concieved notion or prior definition?

akjnabao is diffult to speak so I prefer God... lol

But seriously. I think God is not "so" different from what I have defined as God. Many religions have some weird perpectives about a personified God, and a external being with his own will and ego, that often leads to some contradictions, and things that are difficult to accept. But there is other interpretations of God that look more like the one I gave, like in some gnostic or esoteric sects. Of course there could be mistakes there too, nothing is perfect. Anyway I am still talking about a primary cause, some kind of creator, what God is supposed to be.

Technically, there can be no perfect or complete definition of God, as anything put into words, symbols or thought automatically sets boundaries, beyond which "God" still extends. Anyone familiar with the mystical literature will recognize this.

The best we can do is come up with some "shadows" which suggest the object casting them; but the object itself is forever the Ultimate Mystery.

God is black

Alec Baldwin is God, just ask him.

i agree with this

god is a great big penis, prove me wrong.

















If i was god i would atleast put 'made by god' on the things i made. their is no god ffs. but if you're talking about the creator and why things got to here, then i would say nature is god.

Even by my standards, you are one strange person.

Printed on every quark in bold letters, readable in every language, is the universal trade mark of the We Are God Corp.

I can't believe I said that.

Interesting though through the Kaballah, father god (Chokmah) is wisdom, the invisible force,unity. Mother god(Binah) focus, understanding and is also called the BIG SQUEEZE.....Squeezing it allllll out.

wait, Jesus is God. Jesus is the son of God. God is his own son? I guess his brother is his own nephew.

It's an old trick. If you are the god king, what is your father?

If you are your own father, them your real father is not a danger to your power.

but can he play the banjo?
