Some early Christian monks made the startling statement, "God doesn't exist. But God is real." Leave it to a 20th Century theologian to make sense of that. Paul Tillich concluded that the reason God doesn't exist (and doesn't *not* exist, either for that matter), is that God is existence itself. He said God is the "Ground of Being." It is God who not only brought us (and everything else) into existence, but God who sustains our continued existence. We would utterly cease to exist in an instant if not for God's will. So, in a sense, God isn't any *thing*. God is the First Cause who brought all *things* into existence, and maintains their continued existence. (I LOVE theology!)

It depends on what the perswn believes. Some think everything is of god and some think nothing is but most are some place between these two.
I believe that god exists only in peoples minds and no other place. People mak of god what they want.
I do not need this crutch to lean on.

The way that you are using the word with a small 'g', this 'god' can be any and everything that is deemed important to a person.
On the other hand, the word with a capatal "G" (God). Is not an idol and trustworthy to grant forgivness of sins; IF you believe in Him and His Son Yeshua (Christ Jesus).

Depends on your religion.
God could be nowhere.
God could be everywhere.
God could be everything.
God could be all powerful - or not powerful at all.
God could be good - or even thoroughly evil or even uncaring.
Depending on your outlook - God could be and not be a lot of different things.
Personally I think God has the potenial for anything.

Only God is God. Everything else isn't God, except Jesus and the Holy Spirit.( Everything else is God's creation.)

God isn't separate from anybody--also God is not the property of any one religion.

Everything is God.
There is no point where God ends and something else begins.

God spelled backwards isn't God. It is Dog.
