The Definition of God

To All God's Children,


-->I’m convinced that many philosophers are wrong. Just because the definition of a certain being is not true in all cases doesn’t mean that being doesn’t exist. However, what it might mean is that the definition of the being is wrong. God is all good, but because there is evil in the world God does not exist according to a Frenchman named Sartre. Well that’s just stupid; I can understand the idea that the Christian God is “all good” and that it’s logical for an omnipresent being to allow evil in its being. There’s so much that lies beyond what humans know there’s no way anyone can prove that God does not exist from such a simple statement.
Maybe God should not be defined as an “all good” being. The Taoists believe that there is a balance of good and bad like in the yin yang. Good vs. evil is all relative to your perspective of whether the action helps or harms you. If you label something as good then you must have something as evil. It makes the most sense to just not label it either way. But I guess calling God the all-powerful “neutral” would just sound lame.

Whatever, I’m getting off track, but essentially what I’m trying to say is that our definition of God might be wrong because; for one, God lies outside our understanding and therefore nearly impossible to limit him to a particular definition. I believe God should be defined as a spirit that lies beyond us, but within us – a disembodied current of life force thriving at the very core of existence. God is everywhere because the spirit is all matter thus we are included into its being; for we are nothing, but conscious matter ourselves.

Peace be with you
