The question "What is God" assumes that there are attributes which can be abstracted and separated from His nature. The question should be "Who is God?" or "What is God's identity?"
It is like asking the question "What is "FadingW" as a concept?" It is a category error - you are not a concept, but a Person.
PERSON, defined as:
1. a human being, whether man, woman, or child: The table seats four persons.
2. a human being as distinguished from an animal or a thing.
3. Sociology . an individual human being, especially with reference to his or her social relationships and behavioral patterns as conditioned by the culture.
"God" most certainly is a concept. Clearly your concept of god is that he is a person. Which is unbelieveable stupid. My concept of God is that he is an undefinable entity. An atheist's concept of god is that he is a figment of your imagination. No matter how you look at it. "God" IS a concept. The primary difference between your concept and everybody else's is that you and the overwhelming majority of other christians on the planet have the arrogance to claim that your concept of god is not a concept at all because you worship the one "TRUE" god. And he's a PERSON!
How do you people look at yourselves in the mirror? You arrogant judgemental ignorant blowhards.
