Are we talking about the god of the bible? Or the god of the Koran? Or mother nature? Or the cosmos?
Please include proof of the above.
You say god is eager to listen. How do you know this?
You say that god is intelligent and communicates. How is this possible? Can you give an example.
You say that god is beautiful. When was the last time you saw god?
You say that god cares about everyone. How do you know this?

I like how eager he is to listen? His intelligence and how well he communicates about himself to others.
He is beautiful of course and that doesn't hurt.
He authentically cares about everyone and anyone without doubt about it.
Add something you feel makes God wonderful!
I think its the fact that people believe there's someone out there watching over them that makes people think he's wonderful; the idea of heaven and salvation as well as punishment and imprisonment for both the evil and the worthy to enter. It's the fact that people find solace and comfort in believing that their loved one's who have passed have entered the Paradise or the promised land, that makes the idea or belief of god wonderful and acceptable to many people, and if that comforts them from a tragic event who are we - atheist. skeptics, what have you,, to tell these people that they are in the wrong. so if you believe in god good for you, that's fine, just don't use your religion to attack homosexuals or people who may not agree with you or follow your religion. but back to the main topic, people believe that god is wonderful because they find comfort when they need it, be it death, forgiveness, assistance, love or guidance, that is why it is considered wonderful by a great number of people.

As an atheist and skeptic, I don't want to tell them they're wrong, or take away their faith and comfort in this concept that there's a better place to go to after this life; that's not the problem. The problem is that some of them want to pass off their beliefs as more than just a belief, but a solid concrete fact, and that's what needs addressing.
