People assign different meanings to the word “God”.
God in the aspect of the Creator and not the Absolute.
God is All (the term “Absolute”by its origin means “Absolutely All”).
God of Divine Fire and sunlight.

The way I understand it is by assessing context first. Surely you don't think atheists are unaware that the word 'god' has a million or more meanings?

I realize that people assign different meanings to god...that's why there are so many religions and individual spiritual beliefs.
not sure what you mean by "not the Absolute" especially since you then said that god is "all...absolutely all"
here's how I define the term god: the creator of the universe and all that is contained within it and is worthy of worship.
Anyway, not really sure what you are trying to get us to understand, so I don't have much more to say.

Now a days, people seem to forget the fundamentals of anything. Many believe (wrongly) that they can make up any explanation for God. There happens to be an actual documant stating the history of THE GREAT I AM. Its called the Bible. Its all right there, people need to get off their lazy bums and read what they want to know, and not make it up. But that is the trouble with Atheists, they wont even open up the pages, so how can they understand?

Ok... I suppose that was supposed to mean something, but it doesn't. I can assign any meaning I want to any word at all. Doesn't make it right, or mean that people will understand. Let's just stick with a word's actually meaning, shall we? Otherwise language itself becomes pointless. It has rules for a reason.

Atheists DO know the meaning of the word GOD but i feel that even the Pope would not be able to UNDERSTAND your question...

it is called free will. I am not attaching a good or bad connotation to this. Some people do not believe in a divine anything. So they probably do no understand it. That is o.k. It is their path to walk.

Most atheists have a bug up their *** about everything. They are without a doubt, the most bitter, mean, rude, self-righteous people I have ever met. (I'm no angel, I'm more or less an agnostic, but I don't go around forcing my views on people like atheists do.)

I am an athiest, but Mother is another word for God on the lips of a child.

Quite easily. They are simple notions often encountered in religious texts and discussions. They serve many purposes, one of which is to protect the deity from the analytical grasp of reason.

I understand a whole lot about God and Gods but I don't accept any of it as true.
