    For me 'God' is in everyone rather than being out there somewhere

    God is one in the same for all. but only as the yahwah, jehovah god (christian god). the "other" gods have different personalitys and the teaching of the yahwah. states that he is never changing. no names aren't really important you can call him what you see fitting-Yahwah,jehovah, lord, abba, father, master, or whatever it doesn't truly matter.what is important is that you follow what he has told you. its not the name that i follow but the one with the name. and the teachings of the "other" God are not the same and so they can't be him. and so i don't think they are real.

    God is one....names are not important...different names and different religions are just clothes and titles....God is a womb from where we came from.....now a womb don't have any religion title.....names are here only in this material world given by men....The One who creates us has no name and no religion.

    ?"?

    I believe in one G-d and only one G-d -- some religions give G-d a different name or different attributes, but (S)He is still the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

    are you implying that God might be a female? because females didn't exist until eve. God is "abba" or "father" so how can he be female? plus he has females playing a lower part of the church.

    No. I happen to be a hard polytheist, as well as a henotheist. I believe that all the gods (with the exception of the flying spaghetti monster) exist but I worship my Gods only. For worshipping alien gods is detremental to Vor Tru (our faith)

    We can never understand the existance of God or the great power over ourlife. It is beyond our brain.

    Mathew Fox talks about One River; Many Streams. No one has it all, but they all have something.

    I'm Buddhist. We see all life as sacred. We do not believe in an external "God" but in the sacredness of the cycles of air, water, fire, earth and either (or space) the elements.

    If you don't believe that there is a God, then why is life sacred? Why can't we just go out and murder anyone we want? If there is no God, then it doesn't matter how you or I live because we aren't held accountable. And what makes air, water, fire, earth, and space elements sacred? I can see that if you believe in a God that it is something that is valuable and something that God gave to us as a gift when He created it. I could see it being said to be sacred, but if there is no God outside of time and universe, then why would these things be considered sacred?

    I have come to believe that all religions are a piece of the pie. We all have just a touch of the truth. Together we become Truth.
  • John 1:14 Nov 17, 2010 @ 4:06 pm | delete
    I take it you believe that truth is found in all of us. What Truth is that? How do you know what truth is really True? Either God exists or He doesn't. Either Evolution happened or Creation happened. Either you believe one is true and not the other or vice versa. For truth to be True there has to be a standard. 1 + 1 equals 2 because it meets the standard that was set within the numbering system. It doesn't matter if Joe Blow believes 1+ 1 to be 3. He still lives in a world where there is truth and a set of principles to judge whether it is True.

    Yes, but we must remove the people created parts of religion to find the same God.

    Evolution can be explained anyway a persons mind allows them to explain it.

    Hi Growwear, as you can see here a majority of my readers feel that God is in fact not limited by our religions.
  • GrowWear Aug 12, 2008 @ 6:22 am | delete
    I'd like to hear anyone's and everybody's answers to these two questions:

    Different religions and different people speak of "their" God as the only God. Isn't God one and the same for all?

    Can't evolution be explained simply as the "process" of God's work? Why or why not?
