whenever i am posed "do you believe in god", i always answer with a question: what is your definition of 'god'
if they mean the christian conception of god, god who made man in his image, and thus, is an image of man, then my answer is no.
the most accurate version of 'god' i have ever read about was contained in Borges' non fiction piece, "Pascal's Sphere". in it we read that "the sphere is the most perfect and most uniform shape, because all points on its surface are equidistant from its center...God is spherical because that form is best, or least bad, for representing divinity." this is a very abstract idea, but its makes much more sensede to me than the christian concept. Later he quotes Alain de Lille-Alanus de Insulis: "God is an intelligible sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference in nowhere." therefore, god is everywhere at all times, yet 'he' has no boundaries; he is omnipresent. 'he' is always at the center, and therefore, perceives everything in relation to 'him', 'he' knows everything, 'he' is omniscient. in my opinion, this abstract image is one of the best i've come across in attempting to define or characterize 'god'. in my own symbolic language, i would describe the universe as a spider web. everything in existence exists on the spider web, and from any one point on the web it is possible to access many other points. i am somewhere on the spider web, and i have come to know many other points on the web. CNU is a specific point which i now know of, RSTD 236 is a point on the web too, even things like knowing what a burn feels like, or a certain thought, are all points on the web. while it is possible to access many points from your own point, it's impossible to access them all except at the center of the web. god is at the center of the web, the sphere.
