Is God a white Republican?

Is God a white Republican?
Or how do you see God? If you're an Atheist than how do you see God portrayed by people who believe in Him? What words would you use to describe the concept of God that you've seen people put forth?

I'm the kind of person who's had conversations with almost every kind of Christian, and I've seen some really messed up ways that people represent God. Usually when I talk to atheists they would first of all like to clarify that God is a fairy tale, and then go on to describe how God is a concept people use for their own purposes, and He's usually ends up sounding like a jerk. Agnostics have mentioned to me more than once that they object to any "God" that controls people through guilt and shame. I always reply, "I totally agree with you." Because that's not the image of God I have at all.

If you want to see what the inside of my head looks like (on this issue) watch this: http://youtu.be/-WybvhRu9KU

I'm just interested to see the different ideas people have of God. Thanks so much to everybody who responds! Let me know what you think of the video too. Great to be back after traveling for the summer, I'm having fun already guys and girls!

God is the angry alpha male that tribal primates are evolutionarily programmed to follow.

So what made Jesus christ must have been a bunch of sickos who imagined screwing their own mothers so their mothers can give them birth.

God is omniscient, omnipresent, looks like a human, is nothing like a human, wants you to kill his enemies, loves you, condemns you, hates Jews, Muslims, Christians, loves Jews, Muslims, Christians, talks through burning bushes, lives on a cloud, can't be understood, hates sex, loves every sperm, wants you to sing hymns, wants you to pray so that the world hears, wants you to pray in private, wants you to pray on your knees, with your palms together, facing south, north, east or west, likes virgins, hates women, loves men, hates men, loves women, doesn't want you to judge, allows you to be biased, created the world in seven days, works in mysterious ways, loves children, let parents beat the crap out of children, collects pairs of animals, loathes dinosaurs, tests your faith, loves only you, loves you as long as you love him, likes devastation, is the opposite of the devil, can be found anywhere and nowhere...

Do I really need to go on?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Christians regularly tell me men are made in god's image. Looking at human history, there's not a lot of hope for the celestial old bean!

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
Einstein

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

God is a reflection of whoever is describing him. He hates, loves, and believes in all of the same things of the delusional person imagining him. Min.'s signature does a good job of stating this.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
