What is god?
#2
RE: What is god?
Okay. I'll play.

Your question instantly reminded me of the words of the first century BC Roman writer, Gaius Sallustius Crispus who observed:

Quote:'Few people prefer liberty, most people would settle for a fair master.'


For most people "god" is an attempt to wish that fair master into existence.

(Of course, their god always agrees with their point of view.)
