What is god made of?

Of course if you LOVE to define it this way :)
After all, LOVE is GOD, and who dare can stop it...loll :shrug: :D
Nobody/nothing!

I've been riding a 'God high' all night and I don't know what to do with (what's left of) myself - suffice to say, my heart's always the first thing to go...

This is aimed mostly at monotheists, particularly Abrahamics, but any theist can answer.

A simple question: what is god made of? Light, energy, what? Is god made of anything at all? If that's the case, how does that work?

A true 'God' in this sense is not 'made' of anything; a true God would 'be' everything. Everything that is seen and unseen. Everything that is known and unknown. Everything that we loosely call existence and everything that may not exist to us. If you can touch, it's God. If you can't touch it, it's God. If you can define it. it's God. If you can't define it, it's God. If you think it, it's God. If you can't think it, it's God. See--not complicated at all.

A radical pronouncement that I can deal with!

Prior to the formation of 'firmament'.......nothing......void.

No light, no shadow,....no Voice, no Echo.....no place to be, no where to go.....
No equation, no photo, no fingerprint, no repeatable experiment....
No proof.

Yet, here we are....and Someone had to be First!

You mean define factually. You have yet to offer a definition let alone demonstrate loves existence.

Do you think that God which is inside you will run away if you will not have this neurochemistery ? No :) he will still reside.

No, nothing would be, I wouldn't even exist or be alive with out it. I would not be able to feel love or fear, think see and hear nor would I be able to experience god with out it.

In further explanation to my claim that God is made of "nothing", allow me to state that God is not a "thing". He is neither This nor That, Here nor There, Up nor Down, In this place or that place, In or Out. God is not anything that one can envision because our intellect is limited to the field of sense-perception and a knowledge based upon what we have experienced in this conditioned universe. God has no cause. He is therefore Unconditioned. A conditioned being cannot possibly imagine the Unconditioned. God is therefore not made of "anything" that would be cognizable to us. He is simply the reality or "first principle" we arrive at when we cross off everything else that is conditioned in some way.

The Catholic poet and mystic Angelus Silesius, for me, captured God best when he stated:

"...Who is God? No one can tell.
He is not dark of night nor light of day.
He is not One or Many,
Nor a Father as some say.
Nor is He wisdom, intellect, or even mercy;
He is not Being - nor non-Being
neither thing, nor no-thing.
Perhaps He is what I and all
who ever did or will have being
could ever be capable of seeing
before becoming what He is.

God is an utter Nothingness,
Beyond the touch of Time and Place:
The more you grasp after Him,
The more he flees your embrace

The vengeful God
of wrath and punishment
is a mere fairytale.
It simply is the Me
that makes me fail.

God stands far above the anger,
rage and indignation
ascribed to Him by primitive imagination

Where is my dwelling place? Where I can never stand.
Where is my final goal, toward which I should ascend?
It is beyond all place. What should my quest then be?
I must, transcending God, into the desert flee

In schools throughout the world God is but described to you.
Within the spirit's school one sees and loves him too....."

- Angelus Silesius (1624 – 1677), German Catholic mystic

Sorry to answer a question with a question but what is matter/energy made of?

I would say everything is made of God.

I would say everything is made of God.
quarks and leptons and glueons and bosons and other subatomic particles. Theoretically these are broken down in to strings or waves. that is at least for matter.
