 God is...

An actual entity residing in a place called heaven?
The ground of being?
Unknowable and undescribeable?
Everything?
Nothing?
Both?
Non-Existant?
You?

Some people say God exists.
Some people say God does not exist.
Therefore, God neither exists, nor does he NOT exist.
That is what God is.
Like how when you walk, you don't choose your left foot or your right foot, but instead you shift between the two, and end up moving =)

a technique used by some christian theologians is to ask not what God is... but what God is not. God is not this or God is not that.... hmm... not sure how that's supposed to work, but...

There is no heaven or hell.
God is a source from which all things spring. It is neither male, nor female, but has the attributes of both. It is outside us and inside us. We are a part of God and She is a part of us. She doesn't judge and is perfect in her innocence.

God (in the traditional sense) is an anthropomorphic paradigm of the universe and a catch-all explanation for all that the human mind is yet to comprehend.
--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

If god is niether male or female, why do you refer to it as 'she'?

i was gonna post something similar to that. god is physics, it is laws and principles that make up this world. god is the atoms that collide into each other. god is an infinite equation as it spans the entire universe, it is the entire universe, and it is the physics by which the entire universe abides
or ether :-)

God...A concept or perhaps a theory by which people use "God" as a tool to attain enlightenment. That enlightenment varies from individual to individual however I believe the main goal of the whole idea of god is to achieve some sort of spiritual security along with a more optimistic outlook on death. The term god in my opinion relates to any other higher power in other religions. All of these ideas working towards the same goal of enlightenment and or security. A fictional tool used by many. However I will not critisize any details of any religion because the details are not necessarily the important part. For if one finds happiness or is enlightened by practicing his or her religion then all the more power to them.

The details have (and still do) started major wars and atrocities. THIS detail should not be overlooked. Sure, ultimately it's up to the individuals... but the presence of religion turns those brushfires of differences into forest fires of intolerance and hate.

God is a big pink elephant floating in minds drunk with dogma and preconceptions. Sobriety brings the clarity of doubt with no ready explanations, just greater wonder at the mysteries which elude easy resolution.

25.limitless
There is a mystery,
Beneath distinction,
Silent, depthless,
Alone, unchanging,
Ubiquitous and liquid,
The mother of nature.
It has no name, but I call it "flow";
It has no limit, but I call it "limitless".

The SubGenius knows that JEHOVAH 1 is a VENGEFUL GOD OF WRATH! JEHOVAH 1 - a.k.a. YAHWEH - is a mad alien, full of eyes round about, He cometh with the clouds, radioactive, all-pervading, He has forged His covenant with the SubGenius in CHAINS of GENETIC PROGRAMMING and DEMANDS OBEISANCE to His caveman sense of humor. He has been denying us SLACK and what He is making us do dates back to Homo Connectus, First Whole Man; only by letting our bodies obey the Code of financial lust survival that is built into them can our brains be freed from his INEVITABLE FIST.

God made man in His OWN image, so I would imagine God looks like a human. Only God is perfect in every way and always existed. Man was designed to live forever until sin seperated man from God. Humans cannot think on the same level as God. We cant know what God knows or understand how Heavenly things work Until we Leave this world and go back home that is if you decided to not turn away from u'r creator and follow the lie of the world that Saten rules.

I posted this before awhile ago but maybe Bavet can explain it to me:
If Satan is so devilishly clever (and hates God), why doesn't he just switch on the NO VACANCY sign to hell and hang a sign that says "Go to heaven." Then all the filthy souls will go to Heaven and crash the biggest party of all time.

Unless your name is in the book of life you can not enter the pearly gates. You will be judge and held accountable for the life you choose to live.
This life is short, eternity is forever.
Why would you want to take a chance that God doesn't exist?
I'd rather try to live according to God and find out He doesn't exist in the end, Than to live how I want and worldly and find out I was wrong.
For believers, Earth is the only hell they will ever experience. For nonbelievers Earth is the only Heaven they will ever experience.

This is were we differ. I will never let fear dictate to me values others have laid out before me. I know human nature too well to conform to a culturally-conditioned tradition. I have my own set of values that I believe are honorable and I don't believe God writes books, people do. I never said there isn't possibly some higher force, but if there is, it's not as ignorant as to assign one religion as the one that needs to save all the rest of you sinners!

Is it so hard to see this as a metaphor for existentialist-like responsibility?
If so... then I'm sorry you live in fear.
