I'm pretty sure the majority of religions say God is far beyond our level of comprehension. The very being of eternity is one that is really beyond mans ability to define. We can pretend to understand eternity, but no mortal could ever possible be able to fully wrap their head around it.
I believe God is infinity the driving.force of the universe. However I also believe that infinite wisdom's means no active consious or will. God has no desire or plan. So I just call God the universe. There is no reason to personify or worship. Just give life its due respect.
Read the Tao Te Ching If there is one scripture that blatantly says God is incomprehensible, it is that one.
Tao is an eternal mystery, and everything starts with Tao. Everybody has Tao in them. They just have to use it. You can't see Tao, no matter how hard you look. You can't hear Tao, no matter how hard you listen. You can't hold on to Tao, no matter how hard you grab. But it's there. It's in you, and it's all around you. Remember that. I'm reading this now actually. So I figure I'd post some from the book.

in a sense.... it means "way" kind of an energy, transcendental energy way type thing. not a conscious and judging anthropomorphic deity

An infinite eternal energy (the creative force of the universe) has no will or desire There is no reason to call it God or worship it. Also this is the third time you've attacked me with a straw man falacy. I never called believing in God "dumb" I called it irrational. That's what it is by definition.

In every one of my post I said how God was separate and science ruled and compared God to energy, but you called my belief irrational and pointless (I thought you specifically called it dumb, but I can't find our old post so w.e.) due to it being speculation. And I wasn't attacking you dude, I said I'm just wondering. Just like to know others point of view, im pretty sure I have never criticized or even asked what you believe in for that matter, mybad

We know about the big bang because we can see it. We don't know what caused life to form or what caused the big bang because we can't see it. Religion is basically making something up and saying its true. There is no more reason to believe in God then there is to believe in everything from nothing. Speculating that a higher power is one thing. But writing an entire Bible and devoting ones life is just stupid. Literally. People speculated that a magic man in the sky might have made everything. Then devoted their lives to magic hypothetical man. Thank Darwin our legal system that puts people in jail relies on evidence and not faith in made up shit[/quote] You did use stupid but you referring to fundamentalist, which I agree arent exactly the brightest people
[quote name='"dankydankk"'] Here's that post You did use stupid but you referring to fundamentalist, which I agree arent exactly the brightest people[/quote] Your right my bad. Also when I said "I believe God is.." I didn't literally mean I believe in God. I meant what you call God I call universe. The term God is used to personify the unknown and that's why its not sound logic. The creation of the universe was not the work of a human
