When people ask if I believe in God, I usually say "not your God". I have a different visions of what my "God" is and does. A "God" doesn't really have to be a physical presence. Nor is there a definitely answer. Really, isn't God just smeone's interpretation of that inner voice that guides as well as the force that creates something like a tree? While the definitions may differ, isn't it all really the same thing?
