I noticed people who answered, included the word "he" in their answer refering to "God". Please explain. Also when asked what god means to you, and the answer is "savior" or "guide" or "one that leads or gives direction", is your answer referring to a real "being" (living or dead) or do you mean an inner faith which leads you as a person?
I'm trying to find ot what "god" means to people and whether "he" is construed to be a real being or an imaginary (or real) inner presence of oneself to use as a guide of ones life.
This seems to be a question of many different answers and "ologys" and just curious of what people think regarding this subject.

At the most basic level, God is my creator. He created me and put into my nature the knowledge that compassion and mercy and love and justice are better than their opposites.
By putting the need for purpose into my nature, He pointed me to seek Him for only my Creator gives purpose to my life.
If I hope to find my Creator, I must seek Him and in order to seek Him, I must hold it to be true that He exists. This is what belief is.
To act on my belief is acting on faith. This is what faith is.

The word "God" means everything that I am, feel, enjoy, need and am put on this earth for.
I believe that they write "he" because that is how it is written in the more traditional versions of the Bible.

To me God is a supernatural being that controls everything and is beyond human understanding and knowledge.

"God" is a possession that everybody claims to own, but no one can produce for inspection.
