in almost every topic here, it seems almost every other person mentions "God", but yet there is no discussion of what "God" could be. I don't want this turn into flames, or arguments... I just want to hear other people's ideas of what they think "God" is. So, to you, reader, what is "God"? (note: By "God" i mean any higher power [if any] that you believe in, not just the usual religious view)

to me, I don't buy what the bible says. which is why I've spent most of my life trying to figure out what my answer myself. In the bible "God" always seems to be a singular entity with its own opinion and view point, which I don't agree with. If this is true it would really be no different then one of us ruling all of existance, no matter how wise He is. He still has an opinion which is based on his current state in time, which could be wrong from someone elses view point. and who is to say wether one opinion is better then another?

To me, "God" has to be a collective and can not be singular in nature. If it can have an opinion/emotions then it can failable and is no better then it's subjects (us) if they themselves have freewill and can formulate opinions (as all ideas and opinions are just that, and are equal in value in terms of one vs the other).

at the core, everything is made of energy. Everything from the chair your sitting in to your conciousness, every bit of it the most basic fundumental level is exactly the same. I think that all of that is "God", we as a whole make up "our creator". In essence, we are the cells of "God". Just as our actions as a society and how we work together effect the outcome of this world, so do our actions as a whole effect the state of god and existince.

I think what we believe as an individual becomes our own reality, and each person has their own subjective reality (basicly reality, IMO, can be defined as "an individuals perceptions limited by their beliefs"). So if someone truly believes and has faith in something, then it is true and is no better or worse then someone elses ideas. this is kind of what I meant by "so do our actions as a whole effect the state of god and existince".

ok, yeah, it's kinda late for me, have a headache, and not sure I'm making any sense anymore...
