What is God (<-**->)?
Come on now. I watch everyone on this forum arguing about God all the time and it is obvious to me that not all of you are using the same definition. So spell it out for me. Exactly what do you think God is?

I think God is the idea that you should be kind, respectful, generous and honest. He stands for all the good in life. Thats MY opinion.

When asked to describe my thoughts on GOD and Religion my train of thought led me right to gravity. . .
You can’t see gravity, You can’t taste it, I just know one thing for certain, that it exists.
The mystery's of faith an GOD are beyond human comprehension
Faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence.
I feel bad that if someone does not have faith they would want others to agree with them!
How can the universe create itself out of nothingness? Given the fact that the universe began to exist, it must have had a “cause” that originated it.Doesn't it make more sense to assume the existence of a Creation. The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that GOD came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, GOD is not in the category of things that are created or caused. GOD is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.
We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing being is what we call GOD ,GOD is the un-caused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.
The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, GOD unlike the universe, had no beginning, so he doesn’t need a cause. Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since GOD is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created..@
Life without GOD is like an un- sharpened pencil it has no point..
You can't see the wind, but you know it is there because you can see what the wind is doing. You can know that the wind is there because you can feel it.GOD is like the wind, you can't see him

Why do you want people to argue about God.
There several definitions used here to declare who God is. God is love, God is spirit, God is all knowing, God is all understanding, God real name is Jehovah. God is the Word(Jesus), God is Triune, The list could go on tell you have no room left to write on yahoo question and answers, so how long a list do you need.
Here the point if you confused about the term Christians are using see if it attribute of God, God in the since of three person's the trinity. Then there are groups that believe only in one God and no trinity. Then there are people that believe in gods and not God. So when you are confused ask. write it down chronological it in a file and add to it so your study argument can continue in peace. By the way God is Peace also.

God is the Alpha and the Omega. He always has been,is, and is to come. He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. GOD is The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost. God is all Pure White Love and Energy. Forgiving and Very slow to anger.
He is Jehovah God Almighty, The Great I Am.

Looks like < I > have something in common with your definition of "God"; especially when < I >'m hugged. ;)
ASSUMING, there is such a thing as The Truth, are We a part of it by the sheer fact of our [albeit ignorant] existence?! ... And what if The Truth happens to be [closer to, if not EXACTLY] Nothingness and we're stuck on a plane of being?

Well, some definitions of God can be disproven. So it's in the theist's interest not to get too specific. In fact, if you can get away with hazy definitions like "God is love" that's the best.

I think that God is an explanation to people about how we were created because humans are afraid of death, the ultimate fear is death, no one can fear anything else more than they can fear death or the unknown, maybe there is an afterlife, but an afterlife doesn't necessarily mean there has to be a God...

Good question.
The universe, everything within it and that which created it.
I would like to see someone debunk this one or ask for proof of existence.
