I don't believe God sends people to hell to burn foreever.

I feel God gives you a choice to believe in Him and if you don't He honors your choice.

The question depends on what religon you follow.

Different ones have stricter or looser definitions,

for example, christianity's criteria is that you be one of the holy trinity (either Father, Son, or Holy Spirit/Ghost) notice also that although there is and can only ever be one true deity, room is still left for "demi-gods", angels for example, could be considered such.

While a more earth based religon might say that anything that has the power to create/suspend a natural phenomonon fits the definition of a "god".

so, godhood is relative...for me anyway...

Everything, you name it, throw it on the pile.

A higher power, the reason behind universe, the drive of evolution.

God honors your choice because it is part of what It is...and what we are.....It's unfathomable...the choice being whether you see It or not...not condemning you for not believing....

I don't even know what to call It......But it could be a lot like George Carlin..

I've heard many people claim that there is no evidence of the exsistence of GOD and/or Gods. Yet, these are the same individuals who believe GOD to be some invisible Sky-Father in the clouds.

So, I ask you all, especially those of faith to answer me this one question: What is GOD?

Um...God.

Well, most people don't use the term to be defined in their definition.

A fairytale.

How do want that to be ansewered? "God is..."

A societal construct.

I also find it to be a personal construct as well.

"God is..."

God/Spirit/Source/Universe is all things and in all things visible and invisible. Energy, cause and effect, a force we cannot not comprehend.

If we cannot comprehend this force, how do we know it's GOD?
