Thread Name: What does the word 'God' mean to you?
Subject: RE: What does the word 'God' mean to you?
I know there is 'magic' out there, I know that there are things that I can see if I but accept it, I know that as time goes on I will know moreā€¦ But I'm not actually 'new age' whatever that means to us, so I constantly reinvent the wheel and therein lies madness.

And yet I know there is more, a great deal more, than the physical. I call this 'God' because it makes a lot more sense to me to believe that there is an architect than that there is no creator, that things somehow assembled by themselves like a time-lapse film of an explosion, run backward. That I do not believe. Left to themselves, things become more elemental, not more complex. Why should the universe be different?

One of the things I want to be aware of and guard against is my tendency to be shown a truth and to recognize it, even discuss it- and then go on saying and believing it!- that I'm not certain whether there is a God or life after death. (And I'm perfectly capable of that contradictory behavior!) Just how much evidence do I need?

But it is a fascinating process, isn't it.
