what do you think of god?

Answer 1

i think god is just some sort of energy (the thing that made us all)... and i think alot of people pass judgment on it even though we know nothing about it.

so i guess.. misunderstood.

Answer 2

That it is a primitive idea. God is basically the result of "Magical Thinking."
It is a feature of our brains to attach a motive to any action. If you ask people about why things happen they often give human motives to inanimate objects. A ball *wants* to fall.
A car *decided* to crash. Trees *like* sunshine.
This has been tested by psychologists and demonstrated. It is dramatic with children, but is so automatic that we don't even realize we are doing it. In biology it even carries the term "anthropomorphizing" which means giving human motives or feelings to animals with no reason for it.
The shift in the Bible away from the older personal God to a Deistic universal force type God reflects a growing sophistication of thinking. The current shift back to a physical image of God and the increasing belief in magical means of influencing real events (through prayer, ceremony or sacrificing) reflects a regression in our thinking. Whether this is from something contaminating our water or our education system is impossible to know.

Answer 3

i think of a bearded white man who is messiah and son of God and that God is also a bearded white man OLDER than jesus.

when anyone says God, i immediately think of the trinity, then I think of the years of studying the scriptures and religious beliefs and understand that the Godhead is more biblical than the trinity ever was.
I found a history of the church by Eusebius and read an early church manuscript that tries to define God, but it reads like a man debating his knowledge of scriptures and hence i came to a similar conclusion that all that i read were also well described by joseph smith as being the "imagination" of a man.
the imagination of this man does not prove by authority or position that what he says is true. it was more like ranting and rambling on.

Answer 4

Doesn't exist. Here's what Richard Dawkins has to say:

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

Answer 5

I think nothing of god, but everything of God!!! Most believers use the lower case "g" when referring to false gods, and uppercase when referring to the one true God!!! To God be the glory!!!

Answer 6

The one written about in holy books was an evil jerk, so he couldn't have been a real god. I guess theists really worship an evil trickster spirit.

Answer 7

I think of him as a useless fellow

Answer 8
