THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: The GOD Definition

Posted on August 7th, 2008 by Michael

QUESTION: What is YOUR definition of GOD?

I just googled ‘GOD’ to get an image and this is the first image that came up:

God is a dangerous delusion“, writes Oxford Professor Richard Dawkins in his international best-seller The God Delusion in which he explains that ‘the god concept’ is little more than a dangerous mutation in human thinking .

Not since Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code has a book created such a worldwide wave on the question of ‘religion and truth’.

Yet, billions of humans still persist in their belief in a growing and diverse pantheon of gods and goddesses or in a personal god of one kind or another. For example, recently a group in Iraq were annihilated because of their belief in angels and in a Peacock Angel.

THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: What do you believe? If you were asked to describe your own personal belief in 25 words, what would be your definition of GOD. I will publish the results online when we get 100 posts. You can post your own ‘definition of GOD’ here …
