God is....
God is the name that we give to that which is unknowable (for now);
God is unfathomable;
God is impossible.
The God that I want to believe in loves me, forgives me, nutures me, wants to take away my pain and rage.
The God that I would like to know understands my skepticism and is probably agnostic, too.
The God that I hope exists, knows that I am trying...and failing. But this God wants me to grow the hell up and do whatever I am doing, myself.
God isn't your butler; whatever needs done, do it your damn self and trust in the kindness of your friends and family, and on occasion, strangers;
God isn't your mercenary; if justice is warranted, sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands or just let it slide;
God isn't knowable, so research that which interests you; go for a walk, think under a tree on a nice day, have a drink or two, listen to your signifigant other; live life.
That is what God means to me; the unknowable nothing.
