Wow -- I agree with SecretMethod. God is a term we use to refer to, well, 'that being than which none greater can be imagined'; in other words, an omnipotent, omniscienent, omnibenevolent being. Whether we call that being just God, or Yahweh, or Allah, it's in an important sense the same being.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
