old-geezer,
you have no sense of humour, my posting was a joke. Anyway, in case there is still someone out there who doesn't grasp all this, god is the thing in your brain that has been instilled to know right from wrong, mostly in Christians, but also in some other faiths. its why we have civilisation.

A definition of God can never be all encompassing because He (for want of a better gender specific pronoun) means different things to different people.
If I were to describe God, the one word that springs to mind is 'shy'. He only reveals Himself to individuals and not groups – the only people who apparently see Him are people on their own. There are never any witnesses. That seems funny (peculiar) when you think about it. Why would an almighty creator be shy about revealing Himself to the world? We're told by the various religions that God wants to be praised because He wants to save our souls. What better way to ensure His worldwide acceptance and hence save billions of souls than by appearing before us all to proclaim His existence?
While He's at it, he could tell us what He is and why He created us, the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and the universe.
But this will never happen. Because He doesn't exist. We've just made Him up and those people who claim to have spoken to Him (or any of His supposed minions) are delusional, lunatics or abject liars or any combination of the three.
Q. Where did God come from?
A. The mind of primitive man, struggling to make sense of a complicated world.

I was about to launch into a rant and then re read the original post...
God comes from the void in knowledge.
Why did the rains not come so that the crops failed?... Who caused the storm that sunk the boat?... Why did my husband/son/wife/daughter not return?...
Would have some "ritual" have saved them?

under the heading “god,” one dictionary says: “A person or thing of supreme value.” Those regarded as gods today include the millions of gods worshiped by Hindus, as well as those worshiped by Buddhists, Shintoists, animists, and other religionists. It also includes the god of materialism, the thing of supreme value for most people on earth, the main motivation in their lives. It also includes the gods of military might and science that the nations look to for security and salvation.
Where did God come from? Well, the Bible answers that God did not have a beginning. God has always existed. As difficult as the concept of God’s eternity is to grasp, we cannot dismiss the idea simply because we cannot fully comprehend it.
Atheists may believe that everything began by chance. But if you take the natural laws, precision and organisation seen throughout the universe, then surely it is logical to conclude that there is some intelligent creator behind it all rather than just blind chance. I suppose an atheist would say,m “In the beginning something,….” Whereas the Bible begins by saying,m “In the beginning God…..”
As to his not telling humankind about himself, you will find the answers in the Bible – that is if you really study it and not just read it as words.
As to our being flawed. That goes back to Adam & Eve, again if you studied the Bible and not just read it, you will find the answers.
But of course – you don’t have an open mind.

Science knows that things happen by chance
You may see lots of natural laws but when you look deeper it's all probability, chance.
Look at a cloud, it wasn't designed that shape, they're not all square, your fingerprints, the turbulance from cigarette ash
It's all chance, chaos.
at the very lowest level science is entirely founded on probability
We don't know what an electron will do - we know itill have a 10% chance of doing one thing and 90% of another
look deeper

The Bible is nothing more than a book written by arrogant, ignorant men. The "answers" are nothing more than products of their imagination. The stories in the Bible are not even self consistent let alone consistent with observed reality.
It is not logical to conclude that there is an intelligence behind the universe. That presumption is based squarely on the assujption that there is a God as described in the Bible.
Just because one cannot comprehend that the Universe and all the order in it is possible without a supreme intelligence it does not mean that it must be so.
It is profoundly ironic for a person of faith to accuse others of not having an open mind. By definition faith requires a closed mind.
