What else is there to say? He saved my soul. He is my father. I am His son. He is wonderful. He is great. He is I AM!

If he exists? I hate God. Why? For making billions of people ask whether or not he really exists. I'm not asking for miracles. All I'm asking for is for him to show up in the sky from time to time and say "I'm God, I'm real, stop questioning my existence. Worship me, or go to Hell."
Because our image of God today is not the same as those in the beginning of man (during polytheistic ages), I believe there really is no God, and He is used as a moral code, an explanation to the unexplainable (like the gods before him, ie., Volcano Gods, Sun Gods, etc.), for hope, and for comfort.
If He really does exist, he would have existed in the same image from the beginning. There may have been many different interpretations of the Lord (as there is today), but He would always have been depicted as one God.
Many different gods have been concocted throughout history, and the god we view today is just the god people liked the best. Mostly thanks to the Renaissance Age, when they enforced the Christian religion on people. And whenever someone took over someones land they would FORCE their Christian views onto the natives of the lands. The Spaniards did it to the Philippines, the pilgrims did it to the Native Americans, and so forth. Because it has been so widely forced upon people, we have all grown up to believe that this is the correct way.
There are many different beliefs(Muslims, Christians, Jews), and we all worship the same God in a different way. People in the beginning, just picked up this version of God, and decided all others were fake, probably because of how scary they depicted this God, condeming people to Hell for worshiping all those false gods, while at the same time providing hope for the hopeless.
"A non-believer cannot see what a believer can see." Very true statement. A believer in Karma sees karma on an almost daily basis. A believer in psychic predictions finds truth in predictions. A believer in Astrology (which more than half the people in the United States believes has some truth), will see connections between their sign and their personality (they've done tests and found that if they switch the message from two different signs, a good majority will still say the message is true to them). A believer in good luck will tell you with complete honesty that his lucky underwear is the secret to his success. The human mind is very powerful. All it takes to be happy in life is faith.

I plan on finding God. So my view is that there is a God.

My view of God is far less important then his view of me.
Unfortunately this question reminds me of an old bumper sticker, "Christ is coming -- he doesn't look happy."

there are not enough words to describe my Creator, Father who loves us all & desires a relationship with all of us. He is Spirit and true worshippers worship in Spirit & truth. I hope you get to truly know Him and discover ,limited at best, how many, endless attributes that make Him an awesome God!

Gods are beings.
A god is another species, if you will. We often consider them above us, but I do not think them so vain. They are different, not better. Just as we are different from the other animals, but not better. Yes, we have the power to control animals to some extent, make them do things for us, serve us, work for us, be our friends, etc., but we are not above them, and we are not better than them. In many ways, they exceed OUR abilities. I believe that gods are similar to us in these ways.
They have the power to control humans to some extent, make us do things for them, serve them, work for them, be their friends, etc., but they are not above us, and they are not better than us. They are capable of things that we may never be able to achieve, but the same is true of some animals, is it not?
Many of us ask them for assistance, but if we pay close attention, many animals do the same to us, and do we not ask assistance from animals from time to time as well? Do you think, maybe, the gods may ask our assistance sometimes? Perhaps the gods and other animals ask assistance of each other sometimes as well?

"Say: God is One, God is independent, He has no father, no son, begets not nor begotten, and nothing is like Him"
He placed us on earth, gave us messages through chosen messengers. He promised we will return to Him after death and be judged before Him. Whoever obeyed His commands and believed in Him goes to heaven. Whoever disobeyed or did not believe, goes to Hell. There is no savior but yourself. Simple as that.

Your question is ambiguous. It would be difficult to succinctly put all of my "view" of an infinite being on paper in one sitting. So:
God is the servant of all things.
