Re: GOD by definition
Fortunately none of those definitions tell us anything about what god is or if there is a god; but it does emphasize that all the definitions are simply human constructs.

After all, what harm can believers cause that would inspire us to try and make fewer of them?

"True Believers", those who are sure of their beliefs should always be feared. Whether they are "True Believers" in some religion, a political party, a social system or convention, an economic policy, a nation or race, they need to be seen as a potential threat.

Do you mean those people who are so sure of their "answers" that they dare not question them? If so I agree that asking questions is always a good trait.

Re: Where To Look
Not quite right. In it was said to be a Presence of God, often a Female aspect of God and the Shekhinah is not really a Christian tradition or Biblical but certainly a useful challenge when playing Rabbinical Trivia.

I haven't won as many drinks with it as with the "Name the most Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern US States" challenge but it has paid its way.
