God works as a natural force

Divine power is persuasive, not coercive.  God is not omnipotent in the sense of being coercive.  Omnipotence involves force by suggesting a forbearance in divine power.  "Persuasion" in the causal sense means that God does not exert unilateral control.

Reality is not made up of material substances that endure through time, but serially-ordered events, which are experiential in nature. These events have both a physical and mental aspect. All experience (male, female, atomic, and botanical) is important and contributes to the ongoing and interrelated process of reality.

The universe is characterized by process and change carried out by the agents of free will. Self-determination characterizes everything in the universe, not just human beings. God cannot totally control any series of events or any individual, but God influences the creaturely exercise of this universal free will by offering possibilities. To say it another way, God has a will in everything, but not everything that occurs is God's will.

God contains the universe but is not identical with it.  Because God interacts with the changing universe, God is changeable (that is to say, God is affected by the actions that take place in the universe) over the course of time. However, the abstract elements of God (goodness, wisdom, etc.) remain eternally solid.
   
Rather than the old idea of supernaturalism, according to which God miraculously interrupted the normal causal processes now and then, God is something like a cosmic hydraulic jack, exerting the same pressure always and everywhere, solving the problem of mind-body interaction, the interaction between free and determined things, and the emergence of time in the evolutionary process.

Wrong. God is a false concept created by primitives who had trouble understanding the world around them. Good try though.

By this definition of God, He is not detectable, and hence no evidence for his existence can ever be obtained.

Thread over.

GOD IS LOVE

this has to be trolling.

Pantheism is sexed-up atheism.

This assesment is completely wrong, God is exactly as described in The Bible(KJV).

•God takes away Adam and Eve's eternal life, thus committing the first murder, and holds their descendants responsible and visiting Adam and Eve's punishment down on their children. In today's moral standards, the sins of the father die with the father.
•God destroys all life on Earth in a great flood, except for a drunk (Noah) and his family, for failing to worship him.
•God's tenth plague upon the Israelites was the unjustified murder of all firstborn sons in Egypt, which undoubtedly included little children.
•Before sending the plagues to Egypt, God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" so that he wouldn't let the Israelites go, so he could have an excuse to visit horrible plagues upon them, like boils, killing cattle and murdering all firstborn sons. (Exodus 4:21)
•God orders the Levites to kill their "every man and his neighbor" for worshipping another god. This cost 3000 lives. (Exodus 32:27)
•God sends a plague to the Israelites, apparently feeling that mass-butchery wasn't enough of a punishment. (Exodus 32:35)
•God kills Onan for refusing to impregnate his late brother's (whom God also slew) wife and instead "spilling his seed on the ground." (Genesis 38:8-10)
•God kills the entire populations of Soddom and Gammorah (again, including women, children and infants) for practicing certain sexual techniques.
•God gives all Philistines hemorrhoids in their pubic areas. (1 Samuel 5:9)
•God kills over 50,000 people for looking at an ark. (1 Samuel 6:19)
•God kills 70,000 people because King David decided to have a census. (1 Chronicles 21:7-14)
•God approves of slavery, and instructs owners to beat their slaves. (Proverbs 29:19)
•And, finally, God makes sure that if you are guilty of even the smallest transgression, you shall suffer endlessly for all eternity, following a dramatic homecoming for Jesus, who will be extremely pissed off at everyone for putting him to death, even though it was just the Romans and even though he knew what was going to happen beforehand, and he could have easily avoided it by using his power as God to perform a miracle and prove who he was. (See the entire book of Revelation)

Too bad that evangelicals never read the Bible...

I laughed out loud.

I challenge you to a god-e-mon battle
I CHOOSE YOU XENU USE THETAN ATTACK!!!

These God threads are really gay

christianity wouldn't be popular if it wasn't full of sex, drugs and violence, just look at passions of the christ.

God this
god that
god is pulled from a hat.

god is a shout in the street

By the OP's definition, there is no way there can be a single god. After all, if s/he is bigger than the universe, there's an event horizon in there somewhere.

Crap try, sorry.

I can't understand you with all that cock in your mouth.
