A god is anything that is sufficiently more powerful and more intelligent than I am such that I am not capable of perceiving the limits of its power and intelligence.
My concept of God has changed throughout my lifetime, and at one time barely existed. Currently, it is similar to a creative force or energy. It does not judge, condemn, nor reward, but is the driving force behind expression and movement. Hope that makes some sense.
What do folks in the thread think about the 'prophets' in history, then?
I ask, because, I think I've got a pretty good argument for the existence of God, but it fails the semantic test, meaning, eventually, the argument will boil down to what God is. I'm trying to avoid that pressure, and gain a consensus as to what God is, or what we imagine God is?
All thoughts welcome in this thread. At the end, if I am satisfied that the members here generally agree with me on the definition, then I will present my argument for God. Please note, I don't believe in God personally, but the exercise is one worth taking.

SorryCouldnt resist
Is the OP asking about a specific god or the god(s) we personally follow?
I couldnt really answer that, I'm not monotheistic. The monotheistic form of god always sort of felt like a father who was always away on business.The monotheistic God, although, I'm not necessarily opposed to hearing all views on the subject. I've been on vacation all this week, so I've only been in and out. I should be able to deliver my hypothesis sometime this weekend if all goes well.
