Well, I tend to view the universe as an extension of God. Sort of like God's body. I guess you could say that I'm a type of pantheist who believes that God is more than just the universe. I've recently been thinking that God might not be expressable as an idea or concept. Perhaps any idea about God or his nature is a necessarily flawed and imperfect representation. By the way, when I refer to God as a him...its mostly for historical reasons. God may not be a person, but personess must be part of his nature...since people are part of the universe. I guess I have a somewhat abstract view of God.

The name God refers to the deity held by monotheists to be the supreme reality. God is believed to be the sole creator of the universe.[1] As of 2007, a majority of human beings generally believe in a monotheistic God, usually in some form of the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.[2] The unifying monotheistic conception of Brahman prevailing in the henotheistic belief system of Hinduism is also significant as a representative element in humanity's belief in a supreme God.
Theologians have ascribed certain attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. He has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, a source of moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent.[1] These attributes were supported to varying degrees by the early Christian, Muslim, and Jewish scholars, including St Augustine,[3] Al-Ghazali,[4] and Maimonides[3], respectively.
All the notable medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God,[4] attempting to wrestle with the contradictions God's attributes seem to imply. The last few hundred years of philosophy have seen sustained attacks on some of the arguments for God's existence, put forth by such philosophers as Friedrich Nietzsche and Antony Flew. The theist response has been either to contend, like Alvin Plantinga, that faith is properly basic; or to accept, like Richard Swinburne, the evidentialist challenge

He is your father. Your earth dad is only the father of theses flesh bodies. God is the father of your spiritual body or soul. Just like a earthly father wants His children to love him so does God.
