"God" is not a who or a what.

Atheists tend to approach the concept of "God" from the perspective of the widely propagated religious concept of "God".

Mystics have always known that "God" is not a who or a what.
This is why they have said that "God" is nothing and everything. No "thing" (in particular) but everything (All That Is).

Like I said, try and get away from the word "God" because it is rife with so many bankrupt religious connotations. I try to avoid the word as much as possible because it is of no relevance and only perpetuates misunderstanding.

Spirit is the ever growing, ever expaning, ever evolving web of inter-beingness that is wholly irreducible in every way.
Nothing exists in isolation. Everything is defined by it's relationships which are innumerable.

That is what the world is realizing now with the destruction of "the environment". We are not separate from the ecosystem in which we live. It is an extension of us to the point that all divisions blur completely.

Here's an example: Would you consider the beneficial bacteria in your body to be part of "you"? Let's see- you cannot digest food without them, you cannot manufacture vitamins necessary for life without them, you would have no immune system without them. So even though they are not part of your contiguous material body, they are "you".

The entire irreducible wholeness of the web of life, where nothing exists in a vaccum, is "God". There is no intelligent design or creation, because both of these imply an "outside" creator. Order is not imposed externally, it is an intrinsic aspect of unfolding of existence.

We are but one aspect of Oneness/wholeness and absolutely cannot be separated from it in any capacity. Man developed the delusion that he was separate all of life millenia ago, but we are nearing a complete shift in consciousness.

This shift in consciousness is nothing recondite as those of new age spirituality tend to portray it. It is simply the realization that there is no separation between any facet of life.

This is all corroborated by quantum physics. All of the current paradigms that dominate earth- political, scientific, economic, religious, medical, social, etc are based on the archaic belief in dualism and thus, separation. This has been outmoded for a century. Civilization as we know it is based upon a profound misunderstanding, but like I said, this misunderstanding is slowly changing. Our self-definitions are changing, and with this, our "world" and form of civilization will change with it.

First of all,you are not GOD, and I am not GOD. God is the creator of everything you see. He is the Heavenly Father. We are not equal to him, but he did make us in his image. He gave us all a spirit, when Adam and Eve sinned, that spirit became separated from GOD, he had to send Jesus to die on the cross to reconcile us back to him. Let me give you an explanation. When Jesus died on the cross, he paid for all of our sins. Jesus trained and sent his disciples out into the world to proclaim the good news. The good news is that if you would believe that Jesus is the son of God and accept his gift of salvation from sin, you will be the child of GOD. Once you accept this the Holy Spirit will come and dwell in man. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of GOD. The spirit of man is awakened when the Spirit of GOD enters him. I could go on, but I just wanted to give you the gospel, the message that GOD wants all of his children to tell others, without the Spirit of GOD, your spirit is dead, it cannot understand the things of GOD. Lt me know if you want to know more. I will let you digest what I've said so far.
