I appreciate the insight into your very active imagination. Thanks for the transparency.

what do you mean when you say "in his own reality" you mean when referring to god as something separate from our universe?
since god is almost entirely based on assumption, might as well go big or go home.

God is a product of the human imagination. It is good to watch the process fresh and homemade rather than regurgitated from tales of old.

Goombah: I don't know. I have no idea what a "God" is even meant to be. Most theists seem to place it outside our reality, yeah. Are you placing it inside it?
The only sensible definition I have for "God" is intelligent creator. And it wouldn't make much sense that it created the reality that it itself inhabits.

how can an omnipresent god be anywhere except everywhere? thats where i would theoretically put him.
i would say...in my idea of god...that its like the mind.
our thoughts exist within ourselves, we are a part of them. our dreams are like realities, and we arent even that intelligent compared to a hypothetically infinite deity.
so with that said, i assume we would be a creation within the mind of god. existing within him. id like to think that if he is real that we are all one.
it seems cliche, but as are the wisest words ever spoken.
