Supreme Being. Each of the major monotheistic world religions worships a Supreme Being, who is the sole god of the universe, the maker of all things, omniscient and all-powerful. God is also good. In ancient Israel God was named Yahweh. The God of the Hebrew Bible also became the God of Christianity, but generic words, such as theos in Greek or Deus in Latin, were often used to refer to him by other religion.
I do not thing there is any dispute about GOD is there and he is called in different names according to their individual faiths, belief etc., etc., -

It IS better NOT to discuss WHO is God, but instead, ask what has God done for us? (like creating the world, the resources for us, the air, water, food, humans, providing the way to the only Salvation, yet giving us the choice of free will, etc etc etc lotssss!!). Why would I say that? Simply because our mind would NEVER be able to handle as well as comprehend how vast and great God is. So, if you do NOT believe in Him and don't even wanna know, don't judge His followers by saying things that would hurt only them. They are mere humans, just like you all. The difference is that they have God to rely on and have found the real meaning of love and salvation.

They have made this question like 20 times on the history of yahoo answers but whatever
1. What are you refering because many people have different gods not only catolic persons
2. You can´t really speak of god in your own words as if you know him because anyone does, you can have an idea of the bible and church says
3. In the bible or catolicism god is the creator of everything of the life of the humans of the earth of the animals, father of jesus and the one for you pray, the one that gives you the opportunity to have a life and for some people the one who takes it. Is the one that gaves you the chances to go on depending on your efforts
4. Everyone has a different picture of god but for me he or she because he doesn t have sex it doesn t matter the religion he/she is the one that gives you the life, protects you and let you make decisions on your life god is the one for you pray and the one who you believe.

i dont have the time to explain you this. go ask a cathloc thats not busy.
god is everywhere.
i'd say he is more of a spirit, that can react with humans beleive it or not.
before pope john paul died.
the day before, fel on his knees out of nowhere started praying and thanking someone.
next day he dies.
or was it 3 days?
idk. i beleive that god talked to pope john paul so he can tell him to be prepared.
and when you die.
you meet him face to face.
like ghosts you can't ever see at all. there are signs of possibility of ghosts.
but i'd see god as 500 times more invisible then ghosts.
when you die.
your soul comes face to face with him.
i beleive this answer is somewhat what you were asking for...

COULD it be that you are missing out on something important in life? If you know little aboutThe one true God Jehovah, then most certainly you are. Why? Because, as millions of people have discovered, getting to know the God of the Bible brings major benefits in life. These benefits start immediately and last into the future.
Jehovah God, the Author of the Bible, wants us to get to know him. The psalmist wrote: "That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." He recognizes that it is in our own best interests for us to know him. "I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself." How do we benefit from knowing Jehovah God, the Most High?-Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 48:17.
One real benefit is that we get guidance in the face of everyday problems, a firm hope for the future, and peace of mind. Furthermore, being well-acquainted with Jehovah moves us to develop a different attitude on the most vital issues that face people all over the world today. What are those issues?
Does Your Life Have Purpose?
Despite mankind's astounding technological progress, individuals today still ask the same fundamental questions: 'Why am I here? Where am I going? What is life all about?' If a person does not get satisfactory answers, his life will lack true purpose. Do many people sense this shortfall? A study carried out in Germany in the late 1990's revealed that half the respondents often or sometimes felt that life seems to have no purpose. Perhaps a similar situation exists where you live.
Individuals still ask the same fundamental questions: 'Why am I here? Where am I going? What is life all about?'
Without a purpose in life, an individual has little bedrock upon which to build personal goals. Many try to compensate for this deficiency by pursuing a successful career or by accumulating wealth. Still, the emptiness can be haunting. Having no purpose in life even disturbs some to the point that they no longer wish to live. Such was the experience of a beautiful young woman who, according to the International Herald Tribune, was raised "amid stunning wealth and unlimited privilege." Although she lived in luxury, she was lonely and felt that her life was aimless. She took sleeping pills and was found dead. You may know of other lonely ones whose lives ended tragically.
Have you, though, heard people claim that science can tell us all about life? German weekly Die Woche points out: "As true as science is, it is spiritually weak. Evolution seems crude, and even quantum physics, with all its unpredictable fluctuations, offers anything but comfort and security." Scientific discoveries have done much to describe life in its various forms and to explain natural cycles and processes that maintain life. Yet, science cannot tell us why we are here and where we are going. If we depend solely on science, our questions about the purpose of life go unanswered. The result is, as the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported, "a widespread need for guidance."
Who is in a better position to give such guidance than the Creator? Since he put humans on the earth in the first place, he must know why they are here. The Bible explains that Jehovah created humans so that they could populate the earth and care for it, being its stewards. In all their activities, humans were to reflect his qualities, such as justice, wisdom, and love. Once we understand the reason why Jehovah created us, we know why we are here.-Genesis 1:26-28.
What Can You Do?
What if you in the past have found no satisfactory answers to the questions: 'Why am I here? Where am I going? What is life all about?' The Bible recommends that you get to know Jehovah closely. In fact, Jesus said: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth Jesus Christ(John17:3)

Nobody knows God. Those who say they do, merely think they do because they read a flawed, man-made book. God is unknowable as we don't have means to comprehend the assumed creator of everything.
