I figured that it was time to satart a new thread. The point and topic of this thread is open to Creationists, Evolutionists, skeptics, thumpers and thinkers of all belief paradigms. To properly reply to this thread, however, one must have a belief in a defineable God. This God can be spiritual, physical, imagined, or experienced, but this God must be recognized to not be created by your own imagination but, rather, experienced as a personality or force.
To me, God was a storybook character similar to the Santa Claus, the Hobbit, or one of many human concepts. The wise bearded Father figure cartoon did Him as good of explanation as anything else. I began to think that I had "met Him" rather than just knowing "about Him" in recent years. Yes..there was a day that I "got born again." To some, this is just another perception of ones internal imagination but to me, it was an awakening to something greater...more mysterious, and more vast than anything within me. Because He was a personality to me at this point, I began the process which continues to this day. Knowing how He thinks. Could I do it without a Bible? Yes..I think that He would find a way for us to commune.
How do any of you perceive Him (or Her) to be?
