What's your concept of God?

Since I am a Star Trek fan or of Gene Roddenberry's mind...It would have to do with something
quite hard to describe! Ha!

Um, take a Holographic bookmark...cut it into 100 pieces then look at each with a magnifier...
the whole is in each teeny piece...well, same with this God...a Spirit so not contained
in this little 3rd Dimension...beyond anything a human could imagine.
Infinite? Oh my, then try infinitesimal, also.

Why, a human can't even imagine sitting in a row boat out on the ocean and conceive of the gallons and tons and weight and enormity of the water just directly below him...let alone
around him 20 feet and down below.

Then, imagine that we are 99.99999% empty space.

So, what is your idea of God?

*Obviously, this is for people who believe in One.
Plenty of other threads of whether there is One.

I'll go first: God is that which connects all.

Whatever else may be true, "God" is that urge toward a vested concern with the well-being of everyone expressed in community.

To me "God" is that which allows bullies and con -men to get away with crap that otherwise would see them wearing a chicken -track suit.

God is Soul and likewise He is the ultimate Soul machine cranking out souls by the billions.
.
Does He know who all these billions of souls are? You betcha!

Don't be blindsided by unwise thinking that He can't see or hear us. His vision and hearing are impeccable.

One of mine is: "God" plays the music to which sub-atomic particles dance.

Glad you have confirmed that he hears us, but often ignores us.
