What is your definition of God?
No one can seem to agree on that. Proposals include a universal creator, an omniscient being, a being able to act outside the laws of nature, a fellow with a lightning bolt, the sun, an old man in the sky, math.
What does he/she/it look like?
An old man in the sky, something incomprehensible, a burning bush, the sun, a guy with a lightening bolt---take your pick, it all depends on the definition you choose.
What is God's relationship with man?
Man invented the gods. The delusional complexities vary. See above.
How does one God manage an almost infinite universe?
Ah, I see you've eliminated the guy with the lightening bolt. I myself don't see any sign that there there is a god managing anything though the Bible suggests perhaps a staff of lesser gods called angels.
Where does God live?
Once again take your pick: Mount Olympus, Valhalla, underground, in heaven, across The Styx, outside time and space.
Now let me ask you some questions:
What is your definition of Odin?
What does he look like?
What is his relationship with man and/or the other gods?
How long will he be able to protect you from the giants?
Where does he live?
Most importantly, what makes Yahweh any more likely than Odin?
If you don't know much about Odin, try Allah, Shiva, or Zeus.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

No, that's heaven.
Or hell, if I'm not allowed to play.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I believe that is actually incest.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

That's the right kind of incest.

Try checking your wrist for a pulse.

Um, I think he'd rather see two guys.

Hey, I'm down with that. It was the 'not hot at all' bit I was aiming at.
