Welcome to Gaia! ::

before i post my response i would like to warn that my opinion of god is just that, an opinion. and alos that i do not think that divinity can be fully captured in words.

my opinion is that what is commonly thought of as god is in fact two separate concepts mixed up in the ignorance of the past centuries when theology has become more about words and belief than experience. the only way to know god is through experience and the absolute form permeates all things, in fact constitutes all things it is not matter but it can be found in the forms of matter. i suppose the best concept to describe it that i can think of though i dont fully understand or agree with it is the string theory which describes all things being composed of super subatomic things called strings and every one is the same but it produces the appearance of being different through bending into different shapes which produces different behavior. then to this add the quantum theory of bent space which in a way says that if you travel in a straight line from any point eventually you will end up where you started. then we find that god is the biggest sphere of being and the smallest, it is all the same yet appears otherwise.
i dont think that this is at all clear but i will continue to think about it and do my best to correct it later.

the other concept in play here is that of archetypes, a concept made known by Carl Jung. he says that in the collective unconscious there are models of being called archetypes, all god images fall in this category as well as any image of anything universal. in this realm the god concept of the Judeo-Christians is a kind of archetype for the perfect man, the perfect father, and the perfect leader. in the same vein, jesus is the archetype of the spiritual man, moses the archetype of the leader and of freedom from tyranny. this can be extended also to all gods from any culture.

well i did my best for now.
good day

I think that there is something out there beyond our comprehension... he/she/it created us and left... a mere observer or perhaps an absolute who does not meddle after giving us free will.

One thing I'm sure though, the God if such a transcendental being is to be called is not in the church or evangelic tv shows. God is found in a high degree spirituality and personal enlightenment that is seldom achieved man. emo

If horses were about to start having religion their god would look like a horse. I don't remeber who said a similar thing, I have some extraordinary holes in my head xd
I used to have a vision of God, that He's an old man with long beard (yeah, I know it's very common), but if God was visible I'm sure we could have a vision of Him. But we can't have any. I personally like the idea of mixing God with Nature, but if God is only nature that would be a bit humiliating for God... It's a hard thing to think about.

The way I see it (if my view of the holy spirit is wrong, lemme know)

In terms that a Christian could understand, I believe in the holy spirit part of the holy trinity. The holy spirit is the spiritual energy that resides in every person, it has also been described as one's soul. It connects and binds us all. And I have writer's block at the moment. Sorry... ^.^;;

unless you have some good sunglasses

thats good, i do the same thing, but i often refer to 'the spirit' which can be either the individual spirit within each thing, or 'the Spirit' to refer to the spirit in it's oneness permeating all things.
which from one perspective could be seen as the same thing.

'god' to me is a concept. I dont feel there is an actual all powerful being out there separate from everything else that exists and has always existed. to me the word 'god' represents the forces that caused the universe to come together, the force of nature that has caused everything to come into being. this encompasses more than just nature as it is viewed on this planet, but the formation of stars and galaxies. and in my thoughts on it, when I wonder why we are here (anything and everything, not just mankind), the thought comes to mind that maybe we are the divines means of consciousness. because we and everything in existence is intrinsically part of nature and the universe as a whole, it is how it experiences itself.
