I have some questions for you.
If your God offers you eternal life, then how can you die? And why would you be afraid of dying, if it wans't going to happen? How do you know he loves America and Hates Gay people? Would a God so perfect have prejudices or does it suit you to believe that so you can justify your own prejudices.
It encompasses all the cosmos. What would you call it?
Perfectly made? Yes. Perfect? By no means.Do you think that all of God's creations were perfectly-made?
What attributes does your God/Goddess/Deity have that allows you to call this being a God/Goddess/Deity?
Both of which are God-concepts. You weren't asking about -isms.Pantheism or panpsychism, depending on what you wish to add to that sentence.

Yes, but in doing so, you moved the goalposts.I only responded to your post, Storm:

So, for God to be God, He only has to create.
Do you believe that the other characteristics often attributed to God - benevolence, omniscience, and so forth, are also necessary for God to be God?
as humans, we need to take the concept of God with responsibility, we cant mythologize it into a monotheistic version of a heathen god, who sits in a court and is busy with a bureaucracy of petty details. the concept must reflect the ideal thought and action in the frame of the realpolitik of our world and society.

I like your definition, krishnakanta, but I need to ask you a stupid question. I know very little about Hinduism (as I'm sure my question will prove), but do you believe in just one Higher Power you call "God" or in many gods and godesses? I've always been of the impression that Hinduism was polytheistic. Also, so you see your God or gods as taking a personal interest in you?
