7 meaning (or more how the hell i could know everything) 1) The God is the absolute human joy, which leads to absolute happiness - false 2) The God is the judge which punish bad ones and awards good ones - false 3) The God is the ruler, which give you objectives and demands - false 4) The God is the archetype from your childhood of your parents, masterly used by Abraham the Jew to lord over the goyims - false 5) The God is the extraterrestrial or human being - false 6) The God is me, solipsism concept - false 7)THE GOD IS THE ORIGINAL ESSENCE OF THE MEASURE, THE ABSOLUTE OF ALL THINGS, THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF wrong and right, life and death, existence and nonexistence, HES EVERYWHERE by pieces, but only ABSOLUTE IN THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF THE ORIGINAL TRULY LIGHT AND THE ORIGINAL TRULY DARKNESS.
The force that governs all. No need to make it more complex than that.
What are the great forces that created us? What is consciousness or "spirit"? How is the universe's intelligence different than human intelligence?
Who or what is God?
I see no reason to suspect there is a watchful God or even a creator God of any kind. It may be impossible to disprove it, but so is the possibility of a teapot orbiting Saturn.

You arent messing around with these questions are you? I see the idea of God in the traditional sense depicted by most religions: a supreme being that created the universe and humans. I will take the Christian concept of God first. I have a hard time believing in the Christian/Islamic God (Jehova, Yaveh, Allah, etc) as a perfect, omnipotent all-knowing being due to the stories described in the scriptures. These stories depict a very human god - a jealous, egotistical (praise and adore ME), and often course-correcting God. First we try and eye-for-an-eye and then we scrap that and say love thy neighbor as you love thyself. When pairing that with seemingly no direct intervention from God for over a thousand years, it hardly seems like a perfect omnipotent being. The idea of God is a man-made construct, with scriptures as the only evidence. Since I struggle with the idea of the judeo-Christian concept of God, then what is God if it exists? Is it simply a creator that leaves its creations to their own devices? Or does it have an active hand in the lives of its creations? I dont believe in a benevolent God due to the history of strife and suffering humans have made for themselves. Maybe there is not God at all and we just need to explain our world and the things that happen to us, attributing negative events to something that is out of our hands. Is God our failure to take responsibility?
Who or what is God?
God is our creator. It's also the rules and things that this world is made of.
Who or what is God?
No God...but spirituality is possible without a belief in the traditional man made creation of God.

God or the God Concept is an innate part of who we are as human beings. It manifests itself in many different ways, but all of them address our biggest unanswered questions. 1. Purpose and Meaning 2. Love and Belonging 3. To Explain the Unknown and/or the Uncontrollable

God is the energy in all living things that allows something as crazy as the human race and consciousness to exist.
Who or what is God?
A great tool to control the masses. A great excuse for war. A distraction from much more important questions.
Who or what is God?
God is our maker, our shepherd, our daily inspiration to be better and bring good into the world.

Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.

I was still a 'believer' in orthodox religion but had strong questions... I have increasingly regarded the church as an institution which defended such evils as slavery, color caste, exploitation of labor and war.

As men, we have God for our King, and are under the law of reason - as Christians, we have Jesus the Messiah for our King, and are under the law revealed by him in the gospel.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
Who or what is God?
The wish to talk to God is absurd. We cannot talk to one we cannot comprehend - and we cannot comprehend God - we can only believe in Him. The uses of prayer are thus only subjective.
Who or what is God?
I do not see any reason to imagine the existence of a god.

I like James Hillman's answer- anything that frustrates my wishes or expectations.

God is a timeless transcendent being who created reality as we know it.

Immediate God is who created us, and next is THE force or energy and future is us.
Who or what is God?
The energy that connects us, flows within and between us.

It's an idea that keeps me in check. As long as I believe that nothing is handed to me that I can't handle, then I believe that there is greater good. I believe in karma, and I think God has a lot to do with karma.
Who or what is God?
Everything in the universe resides on a chain. The link on the chain before me is my parents. If you go far enough back on the chain you find God.
Who or what is God?
God is an ignorant but honest man's way of rationalizing things he can't understand. God is also an intelligent but manipulative man's way to control the masses.
Who or what is God?
God is the combined consciousness of everything in the Universe. God is everything. God is greater than anything you can conceive of, name, describe. God is that feeling I get sometimes.
Who or what is God?
The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can change this.
Who or what is God?
To our dogs and cats, we are gods. We provide nourish, shelter, answer prayers, give rewards, make laws, etc. The first god was probably the first modern human, a genius mutant in a world of primitive apes who showed them the way YHWH.

The animal and then human intelligences were built through the process of the evolution. It is an awesome system, which we are trying to understand, often heroic and Divine. Gods are the parts of human mythology, therefore a part of human nature.
