Nature of God: In Translation

Unveiled Artist

Veteran Member
This is for informational purposes mostly. RFians talk about the nature of god a lot. I'm not writing a long post :eek: about my opinions. This is just definitions of the nature of god that non-god/deity believers, like myself, can see another perspective outside the common definition of what we think god is. Take your time. Enjoy.

Unitarian Universalist Kids Say: God Is...
It's better if you click the link....

Unitarian Universalist kids say god is:
Shortened a bit
God is anything you want God to be.
It’s probably a portable God you can shape to fit your beliefs.
An individual God. No two alike.
For me, God is a five-year-old little girl. For my cat, God is a cat.

Everywhere

God is everyone and all the things that make up me.
God is your heart and a mysterious and remarkable power (of your heart) that keeps you alive

God is like the wind, magic, a car driver (because god is in control), and friendship. God is a chair God is like a chair because God makes you feel comfortable and safe and great.

God is like a protector, fire, biggest camera ever made. An old man, big woman who loves us all, and young woman

God is breath, good feeling, curiosity, peace, and family.

About nature

God is a rainbow and clouds in the sky. God is the sea and up in the air. God is the sun coming through the clouds

A spirit

God is a very special person who lives in the clouds and all the dead people are his helpers.

God is a spirit, not a person or an animal.

God is a spirit who looks a lot like Jesus, but not exactly.
He is a she and a he.
He never lies, he has intelligence, and most of all he loves me.

God is someone who sort of takes your spirit after you die.
God is a good spirit to me.

God is the Spirit of Life.
There is a god but he is invisible.

a mystery

God never shows himself. Only gives symbols, images.
God might give something bad to save something good.
God can grant love but not a million dollars.

Nonexistent (atheism)

I do not believe in God. I can think what I want. I don't believe in the devil either. There are many ways to believe and every way is okay... even those who don't believe.

What is god?
Some say god is....

A feeling carried deep in your heart
All around and within us
All of nature
Unknown and wonder
Stars and sky
Knowledge and wisdom
The answer to the question "why"

Some people think that God's what you hear when you make yourself quietly sit.

We all have ideas about what is God,
Thoughts that we think on our own.
But here in this church, in this place together,
We never need question alone.

—Beth Graham
