    This could be a matter of semantics to most people. If one defines God as the energy driving the universe, then that should be enough of a common denominator to satisfy scientists, philosophers, and religious followers alike. No individual school of thought has yet come up with complete definitions for abstract concepts like creation, infinity, the universe, the meaning of human sentience, afterlife, etc. Having said that, I am quite accepting of ideas which resulting from logical empiricism, and am less accepting of ideas which have evolved as doctrine from historical tradition which often have little in the way of tangible substantiation. Keeping an open mind is everything when dealing with this subject

    I think God is the Universal intelligence of which we are all a part.

    "God" is a limiting name that conjures images of Zeus. I called God, the Universe but even that was limited. I then started to call the Source, "Omniverse." it is pure consciousness, the highest, most powerful energy frequency. All of existence is comprised of energy. All of existence is proof or evidence of the Source. The Omniverse does not have any anthropomorphic characteristics. If it did, it would no longer be thte Source.

    God Almighty termed Brahman in Hinduism... is one and only one! It is also termed Karta, Sanatana Purusha, Bhagwan, Parmatman and Ishwar in Hinduism! As per Hinduism only God Almighty exists in cosmic system... rest all is illusion (veil of Maya)! God Almighty is beyond comprehension of most human beings... the combined power of all purified souls atmans in cosmos at a given moment of time!

    Only when human beings gained enlightenment... concept of God Almighty became clear in totality... never before! As per Hinduism God is Nirakaar in form (having no form)! Religionists in Hinduism worship and pray to God... but to see and meet God in this very life we have to travel path of spirituality... path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom)! 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad Gita suffice for human beings reaching stage of enlightenment and finally God!

    I agree, spirituality. What makes us think we can understand God as a concept? We are all just doing the best we can to understand the things that we can grasp. God is beyond our capabilites to understand. I try not to focus on things I do not understand, but focus instead on the little things I do understand - like walk in Love.

    I am God

    I see god as the idealized and perfected state of the universe, the ultimate goal and fulfillment of all things. Therefore although from the trans-temporal spiritual universe god exists and has always existed (at the start of the universe as the 'final cause', just as the tree is the final cause which guides and regulates the development of a seed - see Categories of Causation for more on final cause), from the material universe god exists only as a potential, a desire and a direction of evolution which is inherent in all things and which can be embraced and expressed or ignored and defiled.
    I do not beleive in the personified image of God as some kind of entity or being.
    At least that's what think sometimes. Other times I think he's just a good excuse for a fight

    God is beyond understanding, in everything, beyond thought, and certainly beyond sex.
