Touchy subject! Wow... okay, well at the risk of being prosecuted, I think god hates me. Seriously, he has it out for me. BUT, he listens to me, I know that. When I pray in earnest for SOMEONE ELSE, he always answers those prayes... other than that he is out to get me though. What god means to me, is you can be beat as a kid til you bleed form every corner of your body, and he will ignore you, but if you sin like mad and then pray for someone else to find releif from your pain, he will listen. To me, seeing others helped is all that matters. So I thank god, and pray to him, even though personally I only see the trials he has given me, I thank him for helping my freinds and family when I pray for them.

God is love. That's what he means to me. I would be forever lost without him in my heart.

i was raised roman catholic but it clashed with my feminist sensibilities & dislike of hypocrisy.

i wanted a faith that i could truly live every day.

i chose buddhism. it had the positive messages of jesus. plus it help me to overcome an overwhelming depression.

through this faith i have come recognize 'god' not as the fatherly human for i was taught about but as the chi - life force that flows through everything & everyone. just as we were taught 'god' did.

i totally respect everyone's belief in their version of god, allah, yaweh, brahma, vishnu, etc.

great question!

I would like t echo the comment of Bipolarprincess.

God is love, that is quite clear. I believe he will restore us as perfect people on a paradise Earth. That was his original intent with Eden and all. I can't wait.

I read a really interesting book called:'A Conversation with God by Neale Donald Walsch' really interesting stuff. If you want to listen to it you can on You Tube under the title New Revelations - A Conversation with God. I really recommend listening to this point of view it really does make you think about the problems created in the world by organised religion. Tell me what you think?

After looking at many of the religions I have come to the conclusion that if I had to follow a religion it would be Buddhism. It isn't really a religion though, more like a mental philosophy or a way of life. It is non-theistic i.e. they don't believe in Gods or Deities unlike the three monotheistic religions such as Islam, Christianity or Judaism. Buddhism uses a form of logic and mental philosophy that is very appealing to me.

Hold on..

"After looking at many religions you've decided to follow Buddhism...which isn't really a religion...???"

GOD (good orderly direction)

God is an all-powerful being that listens to my prayers and gives me what I need, and sometimes extra stuff!

I recently jumped back on the "God" bandwagon. I took a 10 year detour, but an angel brought me back
