Define God?!...........

I'm gonna be atheist after death, too. Top that.
You might grow again "after death" and become an atheist "tree".
convince me more, grab a microphone go on to the news channel and convice the rest of the world, but even then it may not be the evidence but simply another theory that the world will go by. But I doubt you will be listened to anyway.
It does need a reason. Why did it come into being? Why did it not stay as an infinitely small point? Why did it explode in the big bang? What is the reason for the universe to exist?
The universe needs us to exists. Without an observer how can we tell if something is real? We can theorize but we need to experience it to say it is so. One of those wacky philisophicql questions like "does a tree falling in the forest make a sound if there is no one to hear it?". Does the universe exists without a selfaware observer to see it? Zooplankton cannot answer the question only humans can.
Why should I convince you of anything? You are obviously not here to discuss anything but to demand things that you won't accept.
BTW, the substance of theories are real: things like evolution happened whether you admit it or not.

The best that I can come up with, that of the words of Jesus: :read2:Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
That is a glimpse of what the Father has in store for us.
He said it, I believe it, and that's the way with me.
And what was your reason again?

No quoting of other people. Give me a personal definition of god. No quotes from any books either. Just your personal thoughts in your own words.
As a child I always had this feeling that God was some how interested in me in that I had this inner assurance of being loved by Him.
That feeling has been with me throughout my life to this very day and has changed not.
I understood it as being God.
So,I always made it my first desire to seek Him out to understand Him better.
I was raised partially a Catholic, then a Baptist and then assemblies of God. It didn't matter where I went, I always felt that God was with me.
Today, I speak to you in love as my faith in God has matured to the stature of His Son Jesus Christ.
I can see as He sees, the souls of mankind as being precious souls. After all, the price He paid with His life was for all our souls bar none.
God then is to me a loving, merciful and wonderful God, who would consider this pebble of the billions of pebbles on the sea shore, worthy to die for.
He is my strength when I am down, He comforts me when I hurt (spiritually) and guides my life down a clear and straight path free of many obstructions.
God touched my soul at the age of 13 when I gave my soul to His safe keeping.
He has blessed me more than what I think I deserve.
I sang a song in church and while singing the song, the light of His countenance, flooded my soul to where I tasted of His love to the inner most chambers of my heart.
I could not and never could be persuaded, that I should deny Jesus as my Savior.
I would prefer death first before I would deny Him.
That is how sure and confident I am in God.
I've read the bible through various times and studied other peoples beliefs, and the more I researched all possibilities of me being wrong in what I believed, I found out that I was correct in my beliefs, just needed some adjustments to my understandings.
So, I share Him with others out of love for others without respect to who they are.
Those who don't believe in God, are still love, for they have a soul too.

So much for bed.
AJ this why I like you so much. You come from Spirit. You Love a loving god. I'll tell ya a little secret....ready? When I was 6 I wanted to be a nun. I wanted to be married to Jesus. He loved everybody. I used to make up songs about his Love. You remind me of that time in my life. *remember its a secret dont tell anyone*
Ah, the "objective observer." Does anyone seriously doubt that the cosmos was objectively here before there was any sentient being to observe it? Or that there's on objective reality that exists regardless of our limited perceptions of it? Or to put it another way, does anyone really think that the observable universe suddenly sprang into being as soon as consciousness evolved to look at it?
Is that like asking if noones around does the tree make a noise in the forest?
Does our reality exist only because weve observed it. Is that your question?
Love or empathy for other species does not make any sense from an evolutionary viewpoint. For example, when an animal is injured or killed for no justifiable reason, we will likely feel bad about it. Yet there is no evolutionary advantage in us feeling this way and in fact it can be argued that it is a detriment to our own survival since we are competing with them. Instead, us having souls which are capable of loving all living things does explain this.
∙ If we ask the questions, who or what created our Creator if there is such? When did time start? Where did matter and energy come from? Most likely there is no start point and our Creator has always existed as have matter and energy. Contemplating the preceding, I am more inclined to believe that a Designer is ultimately responsible for the existence of our universe.

Anyway, the topic was "Define God?!"
As I said, it is a fantasy just like faeries, werewolves, Santa Claus, and Klingons.
