Different Concept
So far, many (but not all) of the posts in this forum have addressed the idea of God and Creation as there being God, and then seperate from Him totally is the creation. I would recommend looking into the eastern religions, as they have many good concepts that may help you to come to a better realization of God. God is not seperate from His creation, God is in His creation. We are offshoots of God. It's an odd concept and difficult to put into words, but once you understand it, you understand it. While constricted in this mortal coil, we are seperated from God by our ego. It keeps us from being one with Him. The ego desires to do things that God would not. This is kind of groundwork for another theory I hold, that Jesus was actually an egoless human being, but that is another post for another time. Many churches (including my own) are very restrictive to this kind of thought. They are fearful, I guess, of outside concepts and forward thinking. I'm not saying this in a pantheistic way or a rebellious way, I just disagree with many things that most churches do during this era. They often become too incorperated or afraid of continual attempts at perfection and simply settle down and form God to their mold, rather than vice versa. But I digress. Comments would be appreciated.

Re: Different Concept
The point is not for it to be a "Christian" god or an "eastern God" the point is simply that there is a divine existance. You may disagree, and I have no absolute proof of a God. But without one, existance becomes meaningless.
