Describe your own "God"?

When Google becomes sentient and embodied in a mobile cloud of nanomachines.

I don’t feel a presence behind anything.
I don’t think anyone can hear my thoughts.
I don’t think anyone guides my actions.
I don’t think anyone is looking after me.
I don’t think anyone created the universe.
I accept that I may be very, very mistaken on this. Sometimes I hope I am.

He is handsome and plays a mean guitar. :)

I thought ‘me?’ Not that I think I’m grandiose but that we’re all made of star-stuff and so am I. That’s basically it.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Exactly!

@Simone_De_Beauvoir So what’s the meaning of life? Or does it even have one?

You can see my God for yourself. Just open your eyes and take a look around.

Doesn’t exist. “God is dead!” Thus spoke Zarathustra.

The person to whom my heart beats for.

Edit: Got to love Nietzsche

Well, perhaps I have a karmic debt to pay in cat karma right now.
My God of choice in the moment would be the egyptian cat goddess.
She would come and sprinkle some cat magic on the tomb of doom over here. The new cat integration is not going well at all.

If this happens I will never doubt again. lol

I am a spiritual person, but I don’t believe in any god that I’ve heard described in any religion I’ve studied or read. I believe there are things we can’t explain with our natural reason. In other words, I believe there are some things that are supernatural.

God is Aristotle’s unmoving mover, if I have to put it into words.

For me ‘God’ doesn’t equate to something, because it is my personal opinion that there is no such thing as ‘God’.
The ultimate power to me is love.
Or Love.

You know that feeling of connectedness you get when you are in the park after dark on the swingset, smoking cigarettes with someone you secretly love and talking about how the trees look like they take root in the sky when you look at them from upside down?

That feeling, to me, is God.

@QueenOfNowhere We have to come up with the meaning. Life has no inherent meaning. For me, the meaning is to help others because I am privileged and didn’t do squat to deserve it over some orphan in Africa.

I found God in a well poured glass of Guinness at the St. James Gate brewery in Dublin.

Orgasm.

I couldn’t right a paragraph of what God is to me. God is alot of things, and to be honest, people here on fluther aren’t exactly the most religious of people, so I’m not just going to put my precious beliefs out there to be attacked by God knows who.

@lemming It is funny, I had the same reservation to write my answer, as I don’t want to offend anybody with my view, but that is exactly what it is: my view.
And your view.
Please write what you want to say, I am pretty sure that nobody will attack you for it (and if someone does it says more about that person than it says about you).

I regard all gods as imaginary constructs invented by human beings to fulfill a human need. They are endowed with powers that reflect the human ability to extrapolate imaginatively from what we can observe.

Man is a compulsive explainer. Man underestimates himself and misunderstands the natural world and hence thinks that it takes something more to explain things. Forces that he can’t explain become an idea of something superhuman. Feelings that he can’t explain become notions of the sacred. Mental states that he can’t explain become spirituality. With a little more trust in what is, whether he can explain it or not, he could do very nicely without what isn’t.

Those who confine themselves to what they can observe, measure, support with evidence, and replicate experimentally are called scientists by some and heretics by others. They are not always right. Because they are open to new information and new theories, their explanations change. If you can’t tolerate uncertainty, you don’t want science. Faith is unwavering because it isn’t affected by facts.

Cynics have always used people’s will or wish to believe as a means of controlling others, and they probably always will. They have a vested interest in reinforcing irrational belief and in harnessing the efforts of honest, sincere, well-intentioned believers in their service. I don’t choose to give them that power over me.

God is a busy guy. He/she/it has left us alone to fend for our selves while He’s off doing wonders that we can’t comprehend. So should try to do good things like taking good care of Earth in case God ever comes back.

He’s a divine twelve ounce trinity of yeast, hops, and barley brewed with the holiest of waters and chilled to perfection. His forms are varied and plentiful. He makes me feel divine.

@Blondesjon, that’s practically a hymn.

@Jeruba . . . don’t tempt me

Awww…and that’s what I was hoping to do. All you really needed was a little rhyme and meter.

But come to think of it, that’s probably already been done by the Irish, the Germans, the Italians, and generations of university students.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I’ve seen that god before. :)

@Symbeline that made me smile.

I prefer beauty-polytheism. I adore all Goddesses of beauty, notably Venus, Aphrodite, and Freya. Pray! And let them bless you with eternal beauty!

Barbra Streisand?!

In all seriousness I really can’t put into words a description for “my God”. I like your description of a “power surrounding the universe” which I guess is similar to how I feel. A power that is pushing and pulling everything and everyone in the direction they are meant to be.
