If you could design God what would it be like?

Question

If you could make God be anything you want, what would your God be like? There is a lot of really weird, disturbing stuff about God in the christian bible. Would you make a God without those bits of freakiness? What would you trim off? Would you use the God of an existing religion as a starting point? Or would you just start with a clean slate?

Would you add freaky and illogical things to your God on purpose? Just to keep people guessing? (Or maybe because you're sadistic).

I'm sure that a lot of Christians, Muslims, and such will probably say their gods are perfect and they wouldn't change a thing. Frankly, if people say that, I would just take it as a sign that these people are really liars and are just saying it because they think they should, (or that their gods will punish them if they don't). I would also take it as a sign that they are boring and unimaginative.

Answer 1

The very concept of God is an idealistic hypothesis, that all
the same does wonders to human and social life, if properly
understood and followed.

As such, each person (or a group of people) makes up a vision
of God in his/her own fanciful image. God, having been defined
by many seers as infinite and beyond anyone's comprehension, is what you make him out to be.

I personally like the figure of SUN or a huge FIRE BALL.

Answer 2

I'd just want people to be cool to each other and not harm others. Honor the big 10 (commandments) and try to make the world a better place. Also, I'd make annual visits to Earth to keep it real and make sure nobody's being a jrek.
You know, 1 appearance could really end a lot of the world's problems once and for all. I understand the concept of free will, but you could keep going and still let people know what's wanted of them.
Personally, when I think of God I don't picture a giant clear man in outer space that is following every action on the planet, but that's just me. It is comforting to imagine that, though.

Answer 3

I am not a liar, I have found Jesus Christ, God, Lord, Savior, Jehovah... to be exactly what I need.
He is love, He is mercy, He is grace.
He forgives, He blesses, He answers my prayers.
He reads my thoughts- He knows my thoughts before they are even conceived.
He is Creator, Author, Perfector, Finisher. Beginning and the End.
I have not found a fault in Him and I dare say- if you were honest ( which God is the author of as well) You couldn't find a fault either.

Answer 4

The real God of the Bible is perfect beyond measure..man has corrupted His message to man..just blame time and tide and a poor interpretation over the years...God is Perfection

Answer 5

It would be a Q from the Continuum. Not really a "god", just a being with god-like powers. Fun. Playful. Slightly less malicious.

Answer 6

Genesis 19:24.....Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Go-mor'-rah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of
the heaven;25) And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which
grew upon the ground

"I am that I am." The first and the last the alpha and the omega..........Feel free to design that....

Answer 7

I'd make god an Adrienne Barbeaubot with chain saw hands

Answer 8

Not a human alive who can even design another human properly. I wouldn't be able to design a god. Anything I designed would def. be sub-god level. Not being over religious or anything, just common sense to me

Answer 9

I think that each of us creates an image of God. That goes with the territory - since we can't see, touch, feel, hear God - it has to come from our capacity to imagine what God is.
