a.) God as a separate entity. He rules in Heaven and demands our worship. For those who praise His name, they will achieve eternal bliss.
b.) God – the union of all things created. He exist in His creation. Consequently, you wouldn't have to love and worship God as a separate entity; you just had to love your fellow man as you love yourself and that would suffice.
Please do not pick both. Although you can believe in both versions of God, there has to be one that you identify with more than the other. Thanks.

According to the Bible, if we don't worship God, we burn in Hell. I would say that's pretty demanding no matter how passive God is.

Why does God have to be a person. Why does God have to have thoughts.
There are so many things in existence that don't think. They live more peaceful lives (existences) than us thinking type of beings. They are probably closer to God than us frontal lobed creatures.
I'm reluctant to quote Master Taisen Deshimaru (out of respect), but I will because it fits perfect here. I think these are his exact words, but I may be a little off. The message is the same.
"I don't think,
therefore I am."
If you don't believe it, take a walk through the woods.

returned, mendacity for Jesus remains mendacity. The earth develop into created because of the fact asteroids in a protoplasmic disk caught interior the solar's gravitational field formed into planets after billions of years however the collision of asteroids. that's an pronounced actuality, pronounced for a team of diverse planetary structures as to rapid-forward the billion 3 hundred and sixty 5 days waiting era. no longer something to do with goo. right this is our evolutionary historic previous from Plesiadapis: Plesiadapis Notharctus Dryopithecus Loris Galago Rangwapithecus Dendropithecus Limnopithecus Nacholapithecus Equatorius Nyanzapithecus Afropithecus Heliopithecus Kenyapithecus Paranthropus robustus Paranthropus boisei Paranthropus aethiopicus Australopithecus anamensis Australopithecus afarensis Australopithecus bahrelghazali Australopithecus africanus Australopithecus garhi Australopithecus sediba Homo habilis Homo gautengensis Homo rudolfensis Homo georgicus Homo ergaster Homo erectus Homo cepranensis Homo antecessor Homo oheidelbergen Homo rhodesiensis Homo neanderthalensis we are nonetheless evolving, the genetic mutations are so diffused that they simply have a great consequence over hundreds of thousands of years. because of the fact of this evolution is taught in colleges.

probably b)....but i see god as an essence withing everything not only men/women as that would be stupid. we are certainly not the most important part of creation.so we would have to love each other as well as nature, which would help in preventing the human race from growing arrogant and destroying the earth for its own selfish purposes...but its kinda late sooo...and also god is not a He and not a he, but god is a form of energy that unites us all and is not formed in the shape of humans...that again would be arrogant.

It would be hypocritical to love God and not others.
The Bible commands that we love God with all our heart, and soul and mind.
The Bible also teaches that we love others too.

the word GOD means:-
1.G___ FOR GENERATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
2.O___ FOR ORGANIZER OF THE UNIVERSE AND COSMOS.
3.D___ FOR DESTROYER OF EVERYTHING.
Which God we should believe?
It is an important question and it is more important for the person who is desirous to know his God.
Can we consider this accidentally or automatically created universe as God? Does it create and remove everything by itself? But the scientific consensus that:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”
clarifies that universe was not created accidentally or automatically. Nor it is capable to create anything by itself. Nor it is given any knowledge of creation. And___ if the universe does not own any knowledge of creation___ then the knowledge of creation is definitely related to Mr. Albert Einstein’s that very Infinite & Supreme Power or Cause. Whose creative manifestations are being seen everywhere in this inapprehensible universe.
The act of knowledge, which is the process of creation in this universe___ is a magnificent sign ___ which is leading us, directly, to the Creator.
Power of knowledge and act of knowledge in terms of the process of creation___ bespeak of such a Creator who is Unique___ Who is free from the creaturely traits__ Who is far above the Nature and our state of knowledge___ Who is Supreme, Supernatural and Omnipotent. About whom we can speak in the following rational terms.
“The Creator of things is not a thing or like the created things. And as the intellect itself is a thing, so it is not considerable more than a thing of superior kind. Therefore its capability of making some image or imagination of the Creator will result to such a step, which may diminish the supreme sublimity of the Creator”.
In this way a man of intellect may believe in God on logical basis. Whereafter he will always consider his God as the Sole Creator and the Sole Guardian of universe. He will never consider his God as a part of universe or a thing in universe or the universe.
It means that God is Super-natural and Super-physical. Who is not perceivable through our senses at all.
The commonplace concept that God is a kind of matter as well as God is the Creator of matter or___ God is the universe as well as God is Super-natural & Super-physical___ is a self-contradictory and an irrational concept.
We must refrain from such concepts and resort to reality that existence of creatures is separate from the Creator and the creatures are not like the Creator at all. Because creatures live and die and they are under God’s control. It is recorded in the Scripture in the words of the Creator:
“I__ and I alone___ am God
No other god is real”
(Duet 32:39)
Worship no god but Me!
Do not make for yourselves images of anything
In heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth
Do not bow down to any idol or worship it
For I am the Lord your God and
I tolerate no rivals.
(Duet 5:7 to 9)
Hence, we must believe our God as the Supernatural and Super-physical. God is not perceivable by our senses. Nor___ God is point-able like point-able things. Nor___ the names of God’s created things should be used for God. Nor ___ we should consider God in terms of things and worship God as a thing. Of course___ we should believe God, the same way, as God has commanded us to believe. And___ God’s Commandments 9Duet 32:39 and Duet 5:7 to 9) are very much reasonable and quiet corresponding to our intellect.
WHO IS GOD AND WHO IS NOT?
The Bible itself, tells that what kinds of changes were brought therein to mislead the people of Gospels. Torah (the Law of Moses) says that God talked to the nation of Moses on the mount Sinai where God gave the Commandments in
Godly voice.
When people heard the voice, they did tremble in fear and awe. And, later on, they requested the Lord, not to talk to them, so directly again. Because to bear with the Godly voice, was beyond their tolerance. The Lord, of course, acceded to their request.
God’s Foremost Commandment was about God’s Absolute Aloneness.
God said:-
“Worship no god but Me”.
(Exodus, 20:3)
“I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
And no one can oppose what I do”.
(Duet. 32:39)
That was the foremost Commandment, given by the Lord in Godly voice to the nation of Moses. Wherein God mentioned further:-
“Worship Me alone and whosoever
will worship the god, other than Me,
will be My rival. And, I tolerate no
rivals. I will curse the people who do so”.
God also mentioned to the people___ not to make & worship the images of God. God told them that nothing is alike God in the heaven or on the earth, or under the earth, or in the water.
It simply meant that God is not like anything at all and a thing or a creature can never be considered as God.
The Bible also tells us that God is Omnipotent. The Book of Genesis, in its 1st chapter, says:
“God commanded, Let there be light
And the light appeared”.
(Genesis 1:3)
It simply means that God can create whatsoever God wills. So, according to the Bible, it is very clear that God, our Lord, is All Alone and whatsoever is created____ is created by God, independently.
