Meanings of “God” in some scriptures

[robvalue]

I have an idea about how this "God" business could help, while actually meaning nothing.

(As an aside, I think theists have a subconcious drive to keep the definition of "God" as vague as possible, so as to make it harder to disprove, and to answer all the questions they want it to.)

I think that considering "God", higher powers, "energy", all these mystical things, is a way of getting outside of your own head. By zooming out and looking at the big picture, it becomes easier to consider other people as being as important as yourself, as well as bigger issues affecting the world in general. I regularly do the same thing, just without any woo involved.
