This is the hardest question posed. To everyone GOD represents what they need. To Christians God represents a loving father who forgives all sins and pays for them himself. Knowing that you are sinless in the eyes of GOD helps you move forward and be all that you can be.
To hindu's GOd represents an antique something which is passed down from generation to generation. My parents were hindu can claimed they are hindu because their parents were hindu. Even more they worship the Gods of there parents. Thus they do not choose of their own free will. To muslims GOD is a person who has mercy on them for all the good works they commit. Obiously all religions cannot define the one true GOD except perhaps christianity. This is due to the fact that no other individual had such a profound affect on the entire world. But more than this, no other individual is more simple to understand than christ. |

God is a *Concept* to understand existence.

Yes YmirGF, very intuitive,.. 'god' is an idea,
And a very astute observation Zanzero,.."God is a *Concept* to understand existence." The idea that 'god' is an idea, is not to imply that the reality of God is non-existent, quite the contrary, one must go beyond the concept of the idea to realize the ultimate Truth of the idea.

I think that God is the universe and an energy within it. But because God is the universe, it's hard, even impossible to know what that thing is or isn't like. Ultimately, it's up you to come up with a definition. After all, the waterfall has no need to know about the ant, but the ant has a life and death interest in the waterfall.

God is both the substance behind everything, and every being in existence, as well as a personal entity who surveys all of this existence. To me, he/she is also a father, a mother, a friend and my Sadguru.
