Ok ..No religion, No Holy Books, Just my own unbiased opinion.
To me God is just an energy that the universe posses. We know different types of enery like light energy, heat energy,kinetic energy...etc, God is just another type of energy. "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another." So maybe, if we know the proper method, we can convert it into other useful forms and use it.
Yes, that means no creator, no big brother watching, no hell, no heaven... no religion...no fights.
I feel there might be some connection between Big Bang (or whatever caused universe to form) and "This Energy". And also, true intention of ancient religions might be to find a way to use this power. Well, most of the religions that came later was only to oppose the former ones, and they really missed the point.
I would love to see how many thumbs-downs i'm going to get for this ;)
Edit* i shouldn't be calling this God. If i call this by some other name, then i can say i don't belive in God.

God is that higher power that for me exists in all things as a spiritual nature. God is of the spark that brought all into existence. God is the essence of all that is physical and beyond.
At a time when the universe dripped in the darkness of
the blood sacrifice,she that is the child logos,he
that is lugh the warrior and they thatare the light
that led merlin which is within us all, guided me with
thunderous illumination and bid me to note all that
indeed is known to everything.
Within the light a shimmering waterfall spoke these
words "I am the thought that resides within the light,
she that existed before all" This voice came tome not
with words but a presence I could only feel "I am he
that moves within every creature, we are they that are
the invisible ones that dwell within all and moves in
every creature.I am the voice that cries out in
everything,he that is perception and knowledge, she
that is the seed that dwells within everything, they
that reveals themselves in the thoughts of all, we are
all that is within.
At a time when there was absolute nothing,
As the poet of they that are evrything, I was then of
they who are also nothing therefor I am.
When he that was nothing bid "Let there be", then by
the side of she who is nothing I became many things.
As nothing I was there in existence of something, When
those who consumed everything were cast into the
realms of never.
I was there in heavens sweet gardens when
the son of man,Who were also once of nothing
ate from the forbidden friut and became something that
can never again be anything
On that other sweet shore, I bore witness when
the sons of he who is everything married the daughters
of man. They that can never be anything.
I saw the daughters of man give birth to those
heros of old. Heros of renown who are everything yet
long to be nothing. Heros such as
Setanta,Ferdia, Queen Maeve and Morrigan the raven,
who in war is all things so that man can never be
anything.
These are the heros that will always br something, yet
battle endlessly to remain nothing and there for save
everything.

First let me congratulate you for the greatest question Ive seen in this section. Not only what is God To theist but what is God to theist individually. Damn you're good at this.
I believe God being a Higher being that we can't comprehend. Creator of Everything. For some reason. I see Him as so wise that no even Angels Understand completely. But He is always Right. He is loving and gives last chances, to people who think they don't deserve it. something like the Ultimate Philanthropist that nobody understands.

My opinion is that the God I follow is defined to a great extent in the holy texts of my faith, and that I cannot answer without quoting them the same way that I cannot define language without using words.
I'll take my thumbs-down and my two points and move on to someone who has a realistic question, thank you.

I think all existence emanates from God like rays emanate from the sun. The rays aren't the sun, but they come from the sun, are the sun's creation,so to speak. God is pure spirit and unknowable in his essence, but knowable by his attributes. The pre-existence of God is the pre-existence of essence, and also pre-existence of time, and the phenomenality of contingency is essential and not temporal. Language is very slippery when we try to talk about pure spirit but the attributes, like those listed by the Muslim lady here are much more obvious.

First of all , the god creates Adam from nothing , do u agree ..?, then the whole existing world came from Adam , i mean u are from Adam , oh from the creation of god ( Allah )
So Allah creats u in this life and easly will re-create u for the other life after death to rewards or punishs u for what u did in this life.
By the way, do u believe in the other life after death ..?
If yes , so the god who is going to evaluate your behaviour in this life.
Now , the god surrounds u every where to see ur behaviour.
What is the character of god ..?, out of our imagination, Can't be specified , should be un-believable, we have to love because without god we will not be in this life.
Think of ur behaviour in this life , it will be reflected to ur other life after death.

God most commonly refers to the deity worshipped by followers of monotheistic and monolatrist religions, whom they believe to be the creator and ruler of the universe.
Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the various conceptions of God. The most common among these include omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. God has also been conceived as being incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent". These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the early Jewish, Christian and Muslim theologian philosophers, including Augustine of Hippo, Al-Ghazali, and Maimonides. Many notable medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God, attempting to wrestle with the apparent contradictions implied by many of these attributes. Philosophers have developed many arguments for and against the existence of God.
Many arguments for and against the existence of God have been proposed and rejected by philosophers, theologians, and other thinkers. In philosophical terminology, such arguments concern schools of thought on the epistemology of the ontology of God.
There are many philosophical issues concerning the existence of God. Some definitions of God are so nonspecific that it is certain that something exists that meets the definition; while other definitions are apparently self-contradictory. Arguments for the existence of God typically include metaphysical, empirical, inductive, and subjective types. Arguments against the existence of God typically include empirical, deductive, and inductive types. Conclusions reached include: "God exists and this can be proven"; "God exists, but this cannot be proven or disproven" (theism in both cases); "God does not exist" (strong atheism); "God almost certainly does not exist" (de facto atheism); and "no one knows whether God exists" (agnosticism). There are numerous variations on these positions.
A recent argument for the existence of God is called intelligent design, which asserts that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection." It is a modern form of the traditional argument from design, modified to avoid specifying the nature or identity of the designer. Its primary proponents, all of whom are associated with the Discovery Institute, believe the designer to be the Abrahamic God.
As of 2000, approximately 53% of the world's population identifies with one of the three Abrahamic religions (33% Christian, 20% Islam, >1% Judaism), 6% with Buddhism, 13% with Hinduism, 6% with traditional Chinese religion, 7% with various other religions, and less than 15% as non-religious. Most of these religious beliefs involve a god or gods.
Personally, I'm non-religious, also meaning I'm agnostic. And I seriously DO NOT believe in god.

I believe God is an all encompassing spirit. I don't think He would appear to be the white bearded grandfatherly fellow that is regarded as the general personification. I think we lack the ability to perceive not only Gods true essence, but also our own spiritual essence.

technically, it's a supreme being like an alien or something. The real supreme being is YHWH because all other beings are mortal creation of his. There are people who acknowledge his existence but don't care, remember that.
