God springs forth from the primitive limbic system of your brain, the last remnants of your reptillion past. The area where our raw emotions reside, including the irrational belief systems.
The 'religious' experience is triggered by deep depression, starvation, near death, or other highly charged situations. The 'born-again' christian phenomena has a scientific basis....yes, your limbic system. Why has man evolved this mechanism you might ask? Simple...it was a survival mechanism of our cave man ancestors to cope with a hostile and unknown universe.
The cerebral cortex is a more recent development. Here is where our rational and logical thought processes take place. It is here that the atheists have found their basis in reality.
In reality, there is no sentient, omnipresent, omnipotent supernatural being or force....therefore all the inequities and misery of the world will always persist, no matter how hard some try to get that limbic brain of ours to work...sorry

God is love... the feeling and the covenant.
I also equate God with the Tao (even though the Tao says It existed before God) if "the way" is the verb of Tao (and the Middle Way of Buddhism) then God is the noun. What IT is. http://www.sacred-texts.com/tao/taote.htm
The Hebrew God and the Brahman.

The book "Another Thought" by OC Tross gives a new insight about God.

If you want to know who God is, study the Bible and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. If anyone tries to explain to someone who doesn't believe who God is, it goes in one ear and out the other. You can find out the answer through the two sources I gave you.

i think god is not a judgmental man who sends you to hell for arbitrary reasons. i think is is the love and energy that makes up the universe. he is NOT a being he is nothing more than thought, energy, and love that IS everything both for and beyong human comprehension. in a way we are all god. itas like hes the ocean and all the living things are little droplets that make up that ocean

I believe God exists to those who believe and have faith. I believe God exists to them in their own view. In my POV, there is no God.
