It all depends on what God is. Choose between:
a) Creator
b) Creation/The Universe/Everything
c) Protector/Guide
d) a combination of the above
e) or something else
Some people believe that the New Testament God is different from the Old testament God, others that the Old Testament God was *just* the creator, who was aware of Other Gods. ("Worship no other Gods but me.") but wanted Man to worship him. Others believe that He is all - or that He sees all - or that He knows all etc. I prefer to think of Him as someone who sees nothing, knows nothing, but cares a great deal about how we end up - at which point, He'll be very interested in finding out what we thought about the whole experience. It's important for us to keep Him in mind as we live our lives, because those thoughts will channel and guide our experience into something good.
If God doesn't care, then why do we pay so much attention to Him? He must care, that's his function - at least that's how I see Him.
