The Tao is like a well:
Used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
Filled with infinite possibilities.
It is hidden but always present.
I don’t know who gave birth to.
It is older than God.

Since some seem to think I have no sense of humour, define God as you imagine, and I will tell you if your imagination is in my shorts... with pain riddled hot boiled potatoes no less!
Everything describable about God is limited to the one describing it and their listener. The superstitious have superstitious god(s), the materialists have no god, and are dependents of lesser bodies of matter than their consciousness, deist have god(s) without any influence in the now, the ignorant have god(s) of their imaginations, so who does that leave...God?
No knowledge of God can exist if one is ignorant, superstitious, materialist, ineffectual etc. except what happens to make it thru the listeners tiny receivers called a soul, brain, sense receptors, growth, attraction, and all these things evidence It according the recipient's qualities, and not the Bestower's.
Roasts are best suited on comedians, which God is undoubtedly the best comedian, or the lesser couldn't even be less.
God bless.

I believe that God is everything and everything is God. But "he" (I don't think of God as a he or a she - It's a Power - so the pronoun I use is "It") doesn't feel pain when we boil potatoes. It doesn't care about anything like that. Everything is as it should be at all times. God knows that because It IS everything. And that includes some people dying of cancer - hokey television shows - hurricanes - great kisses - pressed particle board furniture - wars - chocolate - and yes - even potatoes that are being boiled.

Actually it is the other way around. We are only part of the God, the Whole. Naturally everything seen and felt is God only. God is Whole and we are the parts. This is the logical conclusion of all philosophy. nagarajan.

What we believe in, as Christians, is that God knows all, created all, is in control of all, and can be anywhere at once. But we do not believe as you have described. What you're speaking of is pantheism, and Christians are not pantheists.

I believe that God is within everyone, but not everything.

Everything is God. No "belief" in it. But very few "know" this.
