[net.religion] Let us define "GOD"-who or what

labelle@hplabsc.UUCP (WB6YZZ Labelle) (04/18/84)

      When people say God on this net I believe they could be talking
  about different entities!

      Who or what is your God? When someone asks me do you believe in
  God? I must answer "which one?" or "what God are you talking about".

      Let me propose that when we use the term "God" we have a standard
  designator reference to indicate which definition we are refering to.

           God1  probably the most popular around here. The God of Moses
  Abraham, etc.- the one refered to in the Bible.

           God2  The entity or being refered to by those who do not attach
  God to a particular faith.                                   

           God3  The more nebulous definition for 90-100 percent agnostics
  which could refer to as little as another race from outer space who has
  planted us, to the brain of which we are mere "thoughts".

           God4  The non existant "deity" for atheists for lack of better term.
