This is a serious question. How would you 'define' God? I know what/who God is, that isn't what I am looking for...I guess I am looking to know what is God to you? Please try NOT to bash guys. I appreciate all serious answers.

God is defined by His many names throughout scripture. To begin with the first name mentioned in Hebrew scripture is Elohyim (which denotes plurality in the Godhead). This is the first verse in scripture used to prove the Trinity. So God is three in one. Plurality is even conceded by eminent Jewish scholars, however they reject Christ as God because they thought the Messiah would be a warrior riding in to overcome and kill all their enemies. He came as a sacrifice for sin.
God is also called Jehovah Shalom (God our peace), Jehovah-Jireh (God our provider), Jehovah-Tsidkenu (I think this on is God our healer) and some other compound names that I am not able to call to remembrance without doing some research. God is also called El, Adonai, Jehovah, and more each of which has a significant meaning.
The most important meaning for God is found in the Lord's prayer - "Our Father who art in Heaven." God is Heavenly Father to those who have trusted Christ for salvation. I can testify to that because He has been a Father to me for over 33 years, and we have had sweet fellowship with one another many times.
I apologize that I don't have more, but that is just off the top of my head. God bless you and have a Wonderful Christmas!

There is man-made god like them selves, cars, toys, and manymore. But there is ony one God that God Loves me, cares about me, He never live me or forsake me no matter what. And that is Jesus The God of the Bible, The God of Israel, The Alpha and Omega, Almighty One....
God is omni-presence- His everywhere! (Jeremiah 23:23; Psalms 139:7-12)
God is omni-science-All knowing! (1 John 3:20; Proverb 15:3)
God is omni-potence-All powerful! (Job 42:2; Jeremiah 32:17)
God is immutability-He never change in essence, quality and purpose. (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8)
If someone called god it did not meet this qualifications... he is not god at all. He is a false God.

In order to carry on any sort of intelligent conversation on the subject, some sort of definition is necessary. Mine: any supernatural force which has (or does now) intervene in the workings of the universe. Such a god cannot be reconciled with the principles of science, which hold (and are supported by sound evidence) that the laws of the universe are constant throughout all space and time.

No. I can't really. Any definition would have to be kind of dry and inadequate. We can say He has existed from eternity, or has always existed. He is the source of life, energy, matter, and all things. He is the author of righteousness, the Creator, the King of eternity, the Lawgiver, the Judge, the Savior, the Redeemer, the Beginning, the Light. He is the Father, who wishes for all his children to live in perfection, but who is faced with the terrible necessity of eradicating evil at the time appointed by Him. That is as good as I can do.

It is the trait that separates us from lesser animals the ability to be spiritual a gift from the universe to wonder and a concept to live by.

Jehovah: noun, a word used to describe a psychic energy pool often mistaken for a deity. This pool is used as a psychic soul-battery for the enemies of humanity. See angels.
Enki: The Creator of humanity, often mistaken for "the devil". Enki is a powerful being from the race known as the Annunaki.
Annunaki: The original Gods of humanity, that have each gone by different names from different cultures. They have had little contact with humanity since their binding more than 4000 years ago. Only recently being released. See also demons.
