God is like a clover. little, green and split 3 ways.

When you use the term, 'God' you push me toward the Christian definition.


The name of god carries too many connotations. In some ways, God is inside us... the being within that observes us. The holy spirit. That which is left in crisis situations, when the internal dialogue ceases. The calm at the end of our panic, the center of us. It is also the ultimate complexity toward which we strive. The Father. And then it is the unconditional love of our fellow man, the forgiveness and acceptance, the surrender to reality. The Son.

I've heard many different ways of describing or defining God. I typically reject any definition that creates a sentient consciousness, though. The Force, now... that I can kind of groove to.
