Dont you think its clearer that GOD is another words for the Universe, rather then a "single being that can do everything and anything" Which itself equates to the universe!!!
I believe that this is more accurate. I dont see there being a supreme being that is a seperate entity from the universe.
In fact if you look into some religions and beliefs . They say "god is all around you"
Therefore GOD is the UNIVERSE rather then a SUPREME BEING??
What do you think?

If you believe the bible god came down and did normal human things. He ate and drank. He talked to people.

No, I'm afraid thats ridiculous.
Calling the Universe 'God' is misleading to the point of insanity. That means I'm God myself and when I take a leak the toilet is God... Is that what you want to mean?
You also put 'a single being that can do everything and anything' - and you think the Universe can be described that way? Obviously you've never heard of the laws of physics - the Universe may NOT break them and is therefore not omnipotent. It's also not going to be conscious or sentient so why would you call it God?
So no it's not clearer, it would be stupid and ridiculous. I think perhaps you're trying to express ideas which are summed up in pantheism but rest assured its all been said before.
The Universe is the Universe. God is nonsense.

My belief as a spiritualist is that God is the Divine Spirit and we all have a piece of God inside us as part of our soul therefore we are all connected to each other and ultimately connected to the Universe. It was Jung in psychology who proposed there was a collective unconscious - all our unconscious is connected through the universe. This is why we have what people call coincidences - it is not coincidence but because we put out a thought to the universe, or collective unconscious which makes things happen. Sorry, I got off the point there!

I would prefer to think of god as representing all the forces in the universe rather than the universe itself.

No, because the term "God" is used as a being and not a thing or place. That's exactly the problem: The more we try to think outside the box, the farther we go into the box, therefore losing aall fact.

That is what I believe. The term I would use is cosmic consciousness and every living thing in the universe is an integral part of it. It makes more sense to me than a deity who is seperate from creation.

That is the kind of God that Einstein was talking about. Although the word God generally refers to that made-up supernatural guy that hears prays etc.

apart from the fact that most people's concept of god is of an intelligent being that thinks and interferes with life. In my view god is an excuse to be ignorant of nature and science.

I don't get paid enough to think. This is what i believe:
"There was something formed out of chaos,
That was born before Heaven and Earth.
Quiet and still! Pure and deep!
It stands on its own and doesn't change.
It can be regarded as the mother of Heaven and Earth.
I do not yet know its name:
I "style" it "the Way."
Were I forced to give it a name, I would call it "the Great."
"Great" means "to depart"
"To depart" means "to be far away"
And "to be far away" means "to return."
The Way is great;
Heaven is great;
Earth is great;
And the king is also great.
In the country there are four greats, and the king occupies one place among them.
Man models himself on the Earth;
The Earth models itself on Heaven;
Heaven models itself on the Way;
And the Way models itself on that which is so on its own."

GOD is the creator of the universe .HE is a supreme being .When they say "GOD is around you " they mean GOD created every thing around you including you ,so you can see HIS touch through what HE has created.In fact a day would come when the universe will fade ,none will stay alife eccept HIM
