God is just an extension of the person who controls it. Same as a bunraku puppet is the intimate extension of its owner where it's personality exists as well and projected into its real or imagined avatar.What is God? What's God's nature/existence?

Begging the question fallacy, as well as being simply nonsensical.God is the answer to these questions...
I don't think anyone really knows what "God" actually is. All I can really say for sure is that I'm here in a place, and I have no idea how or why. From what I've learned, we're spinning on a sphere, orbiting an average star, and moving at great speeds through the universe, in a galaxy which could be just one among trillions.
Obviously, "something" existed before we humans came into being - and even before the Earth came into being and was able to support life. We can speculate as to what that "something" is or was - and some might use the word "God" to refer to whatever it was that we can't really define (or which people might define in different ways).
I never really thought that the question of whether God or Gods exist ever really mattered all that much. People believe what they want, and I respect that, but what can anyone really know for certain? Do we even need to know? Is it important for us to know?
Even if I don't know what I'm riding on or who's paying the fare, I'll enjoy the ride as long as I can last. Beyond that, I make no assumptions about anything. For all anyone knows, this whole universe could have been someone's idea of a practical joke.
One idea I thought of was that "God" could actually be part of a society of higher-dimensional beings who create universes for fun and profit. Our universe could be the result of a school project that one aspiring student "God" was working on. The other students all had wonderful projects with beautiful universes, but our God's universe received a grade of F. Flunked.
As I said, nobody really knows, so it could have been exactly like that.
Depends who you ask. If you ask me, it is a manifestation of Brahman.What is God?
Depends who you ask. If you ask me, its true nature is nirguna (devoid qualities and attributes)...satchidananda (existence/consciousness/bliss)...immutable and eternal. Its nature in transactional reality is saguna (with qualities and attributes)...and is that of a guru, guide, and confidant.What's God's nature/existence?
Because of its true nature as noted above.Why does God exist instead of not exist?
God never appears, says or does.What is God? What's God's nature/existence?

God is similar to the concept of infinity in math and science. Infinity is a useful concept but it does not exist in space-time reality. You can never reach infinity or else it becomes a finite amount, thereby disproving the concept. So we accept what is close and leave infinity open ended. This is true of God and why so many cultural expressions exist; all will get part way to God or infinity.What is God? What's God's nature/existence?

Man! You really hate the idea that God is a possibility, don't you.Begging the question fallacy, as well as being simply nonsensical.
God is existence. God is living. All wisdom flows from him. God is infinite space. God is love.What is God? What's God's nature/existence?

No. Pretending that you're a mind-reader, is so much easier than addressing your own, very obvious fallacies, isn't it?Man! You really hate the idea that God is a possibility, don't you.
