What is your vision of God?

[catbert836]

Mine is of God sitting and watching a TV, changing channels constantly to see how everyone's doing, and letting everyone do mostly what they want to. When something really bad happens, He'll do something to fix it, but otherwise He'll just watch the TV.
Anyone?

1. I think the Taoists were onto something

that the universe is a living organism that doesn't know it's alive.

I don't buy that malevolent naked Santa Claus lookalike on the cloud, writing everything we do down in a book, holding grudges.

4. That's more the Old Testament God

I don't believe in that one either.

[The empressof all]

22. yes-God is all

Human Kind is one way that God manifests Consciousness

[Az]

24. Living

What is living? Life is made of matter and energy. The universe is filled with matter and energy.

BTW amongst the things I call myself one of them is Taoist.

5. She's a really good cook

can kiss away any boo-boo

has an answer for every question, but will drop you off at the library so that you can find the answer for yourself

is saddened by how meanly we treat each other

[catbert836]

6. Wow.

That's really insightful.

7. I'm a scientific pantheist

I believe that what we call God is the universe itself. I am Roman Catholic by tradition, but I see no conflict between my religious tradition and scientific pantheism. On the contrary, I believe that such a belief fits perfectly with the teachings of Christianity. I also believe it fits perfectly well with the teachings of any faith. I believe it is to religion what M theory is to physicists. It is God in everything and everything in God.

Some of my favorite books:

God and the New Physics and The Mind of God (Paul Davies)
A Brief History of Time (Stephen Hawking)
The Elegant Universe (Brian Green)

15. I wouldn't argue

with you.

8. she is

the earth, the sun, the stars, the elements, and the rhythyms of the world. Fate is not only in her hands, it is brought upon by others, fate is inevitable and humans cause some of the bad things that happen to him. I don't picture god (or goddess I think the spirit is really of both genders) as a physical form.

9. She is a Goddess

And I am married to her.:) :) :) :) :)

[mother earth]

10. I believe

God is the universe and our collective souls and that dying is not dying but renewing ourselves in joining "GOD", and karma is the force while we are alive that drives us and everyone else, that we live several lives. Ok, I'll stop there, cuz I really think that's the way it is and I could go on and on...& I too incorporate that into my Catholic/Christian beliefs, its all good. :)

11. If there is a god or a superior being

we could not understand it or put a face to it since I believe it is way beyond our comprehension.

[secedeeconomically]

12. There is no God

Besides, if there were a god, he would use more than 1 TV lol. Maybe a whole wall of TV's, or LCD flat TV's. Now were talking. With a really comfy chare, with a temperature controlled Beer holder to his left. Now that heaven lol

[catbert836]

17. I know, I was just generalizing

And Surround Sound with an upload to the internet for while the commercials are going on

18. HEAVEN

14. I figure he watches Teletubbies

all day long.

[Smirking_Chimp]

16. Jerry Garcia

That guy made me think he was God, on many occasions.

[vixengrl]

19. To me, god is the spark of the divine

that inhabits every living thing, that dwells in the forces that move the planets and stars, that continually renews itself and remakes itself and creates. I've posted earlier I saw the face of God in the faces of various people--usually in the suffering and the brave and the downtrodden. But once in a pissy mood I considered writing a short story with the premise that God is just a self-absorbed and somewhat whiny adolescent, setting up dominoes with the sole purpose of seeing their spectacular fall. (Based on a composite of many other people's apocalyptic vision of history.) The idea depressed me too much to really pull it off.

20. The Faceless "Jack Chick" God... Pointing At The BOOK-OF-LIFE!!

You know... the one where he's sitting in his marble throne surrounded by clouds and a bright light.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

21. All That Is

my concept of God is summed up in those words, but It is more than that. It also has to do with a caring intimacy that makes poets like Rumi write of The Beloved.

[GOPBasher]

23. I believe a combination of eastern and western thought.

I believe in the Judeo-Christian concept of God, and I also in the eastern religions' conception, that all things are intertwined, and we're all part of that basic oneness. I think God is both of these at the same time, even though we can't comprehend that. From modern physics we know that light is both a wave and a particle, even though we can't comprehend that. God's kind of like that, IMO.
