I can understand people stating God is more a symbol or feeling or having faith in life and goodness. That's fine.
However, if your stating God is an actual lving entity aren't you basically admitting you beleive in aliens, since "God" isn't a native to our planet, hence not of this world..aka... an alien?
But belief in aliens would go against most earth-bound religions. It contradicts itself. Why believe in a God of any type as an actual other worldly creature if belief in non-earth natives is considered fantasy and blasphemy?
42:11(He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means does He multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things).

Other than calling us cattle, I don't see how that answers the question, other than leaning toward you feel its an actual living creature.
I can quote ancient texts, too (written by uneducated men compared to 21st century), but thats not what I'm looking for.
I have come to believe that God is not a being nor was it actually God who presented himself to biblical figures such as Moses, Abraham, Enoch and others in order to express his will. I think of it like this. The Source from which everything in the universe originated seems to always be present and that presence can often be felt by those who seek it. Although it's not much proof that God exists, it keeps us searching for the truth about it.
There is also the posibillity that this Source can manifest it's will through certain human beings and this has been seen in the lives of all the prophets from many different religions who's devine insight and knowledge have no earthly explanation.

Surely Religion isn't contradicting itself.

Confused.
Most people don't believe in aliens as benevolent, omnipotent life forms that created the universe.
God is not of this planet, but he is a being. He exists outside of this universe, and time as we know it.

i don't know if the non_earth natives is considered fantasy and blasphemy in other religions , but as much as i know about my religion (islam) it's not blasphemy
religions believe in angeles (non_earth natives creations ) , so if you consider them aliens i have to confess that i believe in aliens existence .
So what created "God"? Your quotes are from books written by humans. Kinda implies gods of any pantheon are created by humans to influence other humans to their ways of thinking.

by definition, that is an alien. Regardless of where It is from, its not from Earth, thus, an alen.
True. You have a point as far as the dictionary definition. My point though, is that he's not some little green guy with big eyes that flies a space ship that might have crashed in Roswell.
