A rather long-winded definition of God
The Creator, Love, A man of war, the source of all goodness, One. A word. Dog, backwards. Good without an O. An acronym: e.g. good orderly direction, good old days, god or devil. A rhetorical device, a heavenly father, the first superhero, before comics. A word, concept, a role, an identity, a status (like santa, or an adoptive parent). Alpha of humanity (alien? Most genius? Rotating position? Corporate?). The body of christ (christianity), a plural singularity. A trimurti, a trinity. Or, The Big R. Reality is all the god there ever is. Wholly holy. All Allah. Infinity, infinite love. I am. I am who am. YHWH. tetragrammaton. Jehovah, Yahweh, Jah. H why? Backwards. Just because. Justice and BEing. Jesus christ, 25. Just ice. Virtue, kindness, compassion, mercy, peace, joy, gratitude, etc. Whatever your priest or minister or rabbi or imam (or I and I) says He is. The conceptual focus of a community, like a platonic form. Nature. The Universe. The multiverse. Every psyche. God is love. Love believes all things. Any virtual reality. Love-bliss, -creation by big bang, stars, evolution, parents (sex)- Math: one, trinity, infinity, 138! 764! 17 (Q!, for all you star trek fans) Any number. A, allah. B, Jesus. C, trinity. D, devil. E, pentagon, etc. The one reality behind every deity, god or God, of any pantheon, Any characteristics, any avatar, any name, any religion, any time in history, any place in space, geography. All facets of one stone (even the contrary, opposite dualisms). A way of social control, morality inculcation, making good of evil, community, indoctrination, hypnotism, getting in people’s heads, and mind control. Something to talk about in an infinite universe, Where life is without meaning or purpose, destined for oblivion. A way of making sense of insanity, shared mind, and weirdness like prayer and dreams (telepathy), or the collective unconscious, Or even possession (like avolition), sleepwalking, what-have-you (abnormal psych). go, devil! Get out, demon! Go on, do it! And so forth. Assurance that everything has a purpose, that everything is under control, And that there is divine justice or karma, that the universe makes sense, and immortality and eternal happiness is possible, That there is a reason for everything, and wishes come true. I happen to think it’s just a benevolent telepathic genius, the collective goodwill of all of humanity, Or anything people think is good, personified, Or whatever people think is god (did I cover it all?). The Flying Spaghetti Monster. One of the many sources of goodness. Everybody altogether, and every individual, at the same time. A “force”, as the spirit moves you, so to speak. An (almost) universally experienced psychological reality. The “other” in your mind and body, I and I, plural self. Hive mind. A Higher Power, like Harry Potter, or The Emperor. Head honcho. Big cheese. The most high, the great master, lord above (life or death), Who both demands and deserves submission and obedience. A virtual reality, like the angels and saints and demons and devil. Or maybe just me, lol. I AM, right? God takes things personally. If you're good, then you're God!
