I want everyone to give a definition of God, without using the words "creation" (or creator), "love" (or emotions), "power", "omnipotence", "feeling", "all", "everything", or "belief". You're also not allowed to use names.

Knock yourselves out.

God: what existed in the moment prior to the Big Bang. What will exist in the moment after the Big Crunch.

You suck at creativity. I hope God bites your stupid nigger head off, and spits it into the sun. Also, you're not allowed to use the word "existence". And you're not allowed to use names, which includes "Big Bang".

God is...(in my opinion)



all/presant/am/now

sound/space/energy/time

earth/wind/water/fire

god is the light.

I hope to talk to him one day

I'm not a nigger, so go fuck yourself. You better go back and read what god said about tolerance. Also you never said we couldn't use the word existance until afterward, bitch. Let's see you make a better definition of god and I get to make up all the rules and change them if you're not perfect.

Bite me.

An emergent consciousness created by the sum of all points of space and time in this and all other potential universes.

Also, the opposite of you.

So you think we live in a godless universe?

If that is the case God can be killed and i will take over...

mheh hahaha!



No seriously God cant be an "emergent consciousness" if he IS space and time. Did i interpret you correctly?

God is I am.

a figment of mankinds need to explain what they cannot explain, and to proclaim the importance of man in a universe whose scale clearly makes us an insignificant spec.

a white lie that makes people feel better about dying, and about slaughtering millions that own lands and riches that you want and cant otherwise make claim to.

You people are all worthless.

Almost every definition here completely fucks over the idea of a personal god.

Sure,

but you may only get so close to a 'personal' God.



You could say god wants whats best for you and trust in him!?!?

IMO it's a bit of a circular loop, like the image of Uroboros, the serpent that is eating it's own tail.

God is a consciousness that arises from the existence of things, and simultaneously that consciousness manifests as the energy that is within all things. God creates all things, and all things create God. What makes this different from saying that all things = God is that it's a way of expressing the idea that all things form a singular consciousness, which is the consciousness that created them. It doesn't make sense dualistically, so it's sort of like a zen koan.

G-d is he who exists. 'I am who I am'

words are insufficient for explaining him. He the creater of spirit and matter, himself neither.

He is beyond reasoning.

the ultimate end of the evolutionary chain. the ultimate product of evolution.

God: A symbol

God: A myth

(I backspaced all the supporting adjectives to keep it at one word, but could elaborate further if it would so please the threadstarter)

G-d is everything good and He is beyond that. He is unfathomable.

Who's G-d?

some people don't like to write out the full word god out of fear, as it could be disrespectful.

Adonai, El-Shaddai, Jehovah-Jireh, Jehovah-Shammah, Elohim, Jehovah-Rophe, Jehovah-Shalom. Alpha and Omega, and my favorite.

The Father from which all fatherhood takes it's title and derives it's name.

I'll go out on a limb here - Snoopy is god? http://www.totse.com/bbs/confused.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/confused.gif)

Why the fuck would anyone fear God? If God's omnipotent and all powerful, it's no competition. He could destroy us in a whim. That's not worthy of fear. That's worthy of saying: bring it on chump, I fucking dare ya.

Who's the God then? Him, or you?

well we know god's not you, faggot. Go back into your closet & fistfuck yourself without vaseline.

"God"

It's a filthy jew term for JHWH, since it's supposedly disrespectful or forbidden or whatever to inscribe God's name on anything, the jews have come up with this AWESOME alternative that is the epitome of keeping stupid, pointless traditions alive. It's like the Muslims not allowed to show Mohammed's face, and the Christians not allowed to see their God. Fucked up in ALL cases.

Oh, one other thing, God is a bitch.

If God did exist then he would have to be the greatest possible being of which we could concieve because that is what God is by definition. If he was any less then that would imply a greater being more powerful and therefore that greater being would be God. The whole idea of an all powerful God is stupid though when it comes to things like:- can God make a weight so heavy that God can't lift it.

one

There can be no personal god, by definition.

God wants nor requires anything, especially of you. We are here for our own benefit.

As a poster above said, God is the final product of evolution.

I also have to agree with Snoopy. I would react with nothing but defiance toward a violent, jealous, tyrant in the sky. As Snoopy said, who is the god then?

God's a butthole, just like Snoopy.

Ergo, Snoopy's God!

Its just a tradition of sorts. G-ds real name is so holy, that you cant even write it. According to the Kabalah gods real name is 72 lettes long, and JHWH is just the acronym for it. JHWH is pronounced traditionally as Adonai(meaning 'My Lord'). Its a substitution of sorts. The Commandment 'Do not use my name in vain' on ly refered to this one name, which only the High Priest could say once a year in the Temple. Writting God as G-d is in respect for this heritage.

In others words, why not?

god: an invisible man said to be everywhere at once, but never visible to anyone without a history of drug abuse, psychological damage, or medication; a crutch for the weak-minded; the reason behind 9/10ths of violent human conflict

Any definition of God based on that idea leads only to enormous misunderstanding.

G-d is watching us.

God taught D.B. Cooper how to explane and live with mucho mega bucks I might add. No one ever found a body cause he's layin' on the beach in Maui sippin' on a Mui Thai.

God knows all the best explaneing maneuvers.
