To me, God and "good" are the non-supernatural, non-alien, inherent forces of humanity to cooperate when given adequate resources. Satan and "evil" are the non-supernatural, non-alien, inherent forces of humanity to deceive and use force when there are no resources available. Primitive humans and the ancestors direct to them, and alongside them (Neanderthals etc.) were generally VERY peaceful as long as they had adequate food, shelter, companionship, and entertainment. But our brains are hard-wired to do evil things when resources are short, and we often get paranoid about that alleged shortening of resources.

I would define God as the SUM of all divine truth and consciousness. Past, present and future.

Remember "The Supreme Being" in the movie "Time Bandits"?

well............ I always thought he looked like that with a conductor's wand. receding hairline, glasses, in a fancy suit and tie, and mumbling like John Houseman

He'd be mumbling away about this or that.... taking long vacations, and wasn't around when like:

Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Stalin, The Inquisiton, The Annihilation of the Native Americans, The Dinosaurs, and other goodies happened.

He probably came back and said: Oh my, this certainly won't do... It won't do at all... aaahummm, yes yes.... no it won't hmmmahmmm yes yes... (clears throat regally)

How do you define God?
Or
How do you define the absense of God?


God is a SUPREME BEING who's been living before the beginning began.

God is the creator of the Universe and all of mankind.

God is the beginning and the end.

God is very much a living Spirit.

I think God is someone we pray when we are down... logically speaking most people forgot God exist at some point...but I think it is also believing even without physical evidence as long as the Heart felt it and so God Exist:heart:.

the god(allah) is the creator of every thing existed.

but to reach this definition we have to find the source of every thing, we have to ask questions of the source of every thing because in physics,it is impossible and impossible things come from nothing by its own.

omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent

So, your God is the "Q" from Star Trek: The Next Generation?
The most familiar "Q" is portrayed by John de Lancie.



There is this idea that as the universe continues to expand almost endlessly, thermodynamic complexity can give rise to a lifeform of pure energy, a Boltzmann Brain as it were. Now, considering time doesn't actually exist, just changes to space sequentially, that the end of the universe's expansion is no different than the beginning. Which means viewing time laterally, this Boltzmann Brain actually precedes us and what we see and hear with our senses could just be aphasia as the Boltzmann creates an individualized custom virtual reality for all it's play toys (us), by creating a disruption of the electric signals contained by our synapses and nervous system.


Now you have to understand what a creature like this creates us for.

The fact is none of us know. If we did they wouldn't be so many religions, as they are. They would be only one! To me God, is whatever you believe God to be, not the beliefs what other people try to throw down your throat!

it's difficult to define god in words. GOD is love, kindness, strength and everything which is good for human being is god. GOD is inside you.. God is one, one is god

I see time as a series of static states. Our perception is so crude we can't experience the individual changes of the static state of the Universe because it happens too fast. However, each change in static state has a duration.

You have a static state
It exists for a bit
Something starts to change
The change occurs for a duration
The change creates a new static state and
The process repeats.

Perhaps God exists within those changes in static state with its own duration cycle. Within that change, time is open which allows God to move to any static state at will. Perhaps even guiding the changes which occur between the static states. Directing them, shaping them, making them reality.
Perhaps, to an entity which can do this, distance and time are irrelevent?

Perhaps "God" is the force which causes static states to change? Existing beyond/below/between time and space? Both everywhere and everywhen at the same time throughout the Universe? Existing within and above all reality?
