ITT we define god

[Iason Ouabache]

Also:

Maltheism: God is a bastard.
Apatheism: Whoooo fucking cares?

[LMNO]

Rogerism: There is no Rain God but the Rain God, and he is your Rain God.

[Tempest Virago]

also I really like Roger's concept of God as a TOTAL MALEVOLENT DICK.

I like the Gnostics' idea of God, it's similar, except with the added bonus of him being completely insane. It explains a lot.

That's not the Gnostic concept of God, thats the Gnostic concept of the crazy dick who took over/created the world and *pretends* to be God.

Well, yeah, when I said "God" there I meant the guy in the Old Testament. Obviously the Gnostics don't think he is the REAL God. And IIRC, he didn't create the world, Sophia (his mother) stuffed him in there to hide him away, and he assumed he created it. I don't actually know all that much about Gnosticism, though, I admit.

He or she is called the Demiurge if memory serves correctly.

[Requia ☣]

The world is the Demiurge's insane fantasies in at least one of the stories, (explains a lot really, only a madman would dream up humanity).

I personally enjoyed the first half of "On the Origin of the World". The second half is as boring as the Old Testament though.

I don't believe there are sentient forces that can alter the rules of the physical world, and do so at the behest of humans.

I believe in the trancendental experience; the occasional mindset that can't ever be explained, and where art is born trying to describe it.

If I tried to describe it I'd get it wrong, so I won't. 

Coming here kinda late in the game & walking my mind thru this thread  ...  "I believe in the trancendental experience; the occasional mindset that can't ever be explained, and where art is born trying to describe it" comes closest to how I feel when reading the responses here.  I am unabashedly bowled over, knocked out, unleashed, mind blown et cetera.  A veritable feast for the mind!  What more can I say?

Oh all that & Screamin' Jay Hawkins too?  I Put A Spell On You

Let's stick to subjectivity when talking about this "god" guy.

Also, right now, god is this chocolate soy milk. And god is good. Amen.

The first time I said it was written off because it was brief, but I still say God is force;  And not the kind you deal with in physics, but the kind you deal with in life.

As in coercion, authority, political power, et cetera?

That, military might, really athletic people, or just situational factors that 'force' a decision.

Force.

Force.

Focault's idea of power?

I saw the statement the first time, and I'm still chewing on it.  Whether you mean force as a function of physics, or force as an interpersonal thing, it seems to come back to God being the ability to effect change.  This happens contstantly by the nature of things, we can't STOP physics, but depending we can apply it more where we like. 
It's an interesting view on Pantheism + "Thou art God"
