A complete load of horseshit made up by people who didn't know any better. Perpetuated by people who SHOULD know better.

God = a figment of human imagination, borne during our species childhood, to explain anything and everything that was not understood or explained, and a projection of human ignorance and fear --- which also served a useful purpose by some to control and exploit others for their own aggrandisement, a practice which continues to this day.

A funny Carlin skit on the sun god

"non-existent"

why define something that you do not believe in ? the sun is just a natural nuclear reaction,

god

1. Mythological creatures used to explain the natural word, often having special abilities like causing weather or world creating
2. An expression of anger or annoyance, often used in frustration. Sometimes used in delight or excitement.

A construct of a person's deluded mind. Either that or someone's imaginary friend.

An imaginary super being created by prehistoric humans who did not understand and could not explain nature, the cosmos, physics, rain and thunder. Modern human still refuse to think and believe in that imaginary being.

I don't have one... I try to make it not exist and people here keep bringing him up as a subject.

A brain fart.

I don't know if I have a personal definition of God. I can quote what others in society think God is. I can explain what people throughout history have said what God or Gods were. But for myself, I do not know. And I'm not sure if I will ever know in this journey called life.
I have searched different religions and philosophies in search of the truth. But it is ever elusive.

God = The one size fits all answer to things we don't understand

A mythical creature on par with dragons, werewolves and elves.

But not as entertaining.

How do you define something that doesn't exist other than to say it's a myth and needs no more investigation then that.

In my life, there are no gods, so no definition.

Seems like people are answering this in two different ways; 1. what is the God you don't believe in and 2. what do you think actually comes closest to the notion of God? for #1, I say, I don't believe in any of the Gods prescribed by any of the religions, and for #2, I go with the words of Nietsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake." As a composer, harmony seems to me the pinnacle of divine synchronicity, and my love of music hence becomes my god.

A fairytale put there by humans to control by lies and sooth the thought of death.

Our ignorance.

God is the order and purpose desired out of chaos.

So do you consider all the stars in the universe to be gods?

Slavery.

Love.

When I use "God" with a capital G, I am generally referring to the Abrahamic god. Lowercase god, I use to refer to any deity. And of course, I sometimes use God as an exclamation with no religious connotation at all.

To define God, I'd say it's a mythological being who is eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing, and all good, and who is the creator of everything. That's where I start when debating a theist, to ensure that we're debating the same idea.

God - a bit like the bogeyman invented to keep people in order and obeying rules.
