Yeah, because I used to define God like you do, in a new-agey hippie sort of way. I remember my first mushroom trip, I looked at the sun set, and almost at the point of tears I exclaimed "God must exist!" I was an atheist before I started tripping, but converted to the hippie view of the "God is all and we're all one" because of my early psychedelic experiences. Later, when I seriously thought about it, this was an emotional reaction to the beauty. I still see beauty in life. This does not imply a creator however. This whole universe could of, and most likely did, arise without a plan of any sort. The theory of evolution imo is a much better explanation for why life developed then a divine architect. Also, I feel if we're going to have this loosely defined term such as God, then we have to seriously ask ourselves, whats the point anymore? Does clinging to this word mean anything? Seriously? The more I read, think and trip, the whole concept of God becomes more meaningless.
Also, if there is a God, I personally believe we are all fucked, and are just play things for this being. Why? Because look at the world. There's so much suffering. This doesn't seem like a divine perfect kingdom.
