xddga, your comment that everything in the universe comprises the entity we call God is a theme developed in one of Feist's Midkemia novels...good fantasy series, if you like that sort of thing. But I digress.
Attempting to define God is problematic. We're like blind people trying to define an elephant by only touching part of it (why do I always touch the trunk and think I'm being attacked by a giant snake?). That's why everyone's definition is right....kinda. I personally am close to tecoyah's take on God, yet I have to recognize that my subjective sense of things doesn't make it objectively so. Maybe my beliefs spring from the need to reconcile my instinct for survival with my knowledge of our mortality.
Essentially, finite beings such a ourselves simply don't have the capacity to describe or experience the infinite...though there a moments, all too fleeting, when I have the sense that I'm participating in divinity.
Well, this was an easy one...what say we go on to describe the sound of one hand clapping?
