I'm a little weird about this.
Man created god as a be all end all excuse to explain things that couldn't be explained. It fitted nicely at the time because it wouldn't make his head hurt as much and he could get back to doing his thing. When clever people came along to disprove him he asked that they take his word on faith because he knew he didn't have the answers. And as most things that involve faith, it got exploited to create the fantastic mess that religion is today.
I like the unifying ideologies that all religions seem to have but get lost between the shades of your skin tone and mine. We're all very predictable. Most of what we do is based on instinctual behavior such as being frightened or disgusted by things that are different. Civility is developed to keep the peace when a large number of species decide to share an area. Either by mutual understanding or pack order.
Personally I don't like wasting time and resources on ideas that wont go anywhere and that only present more problems than solutions. I believe there is action, consequence and the pattern that is generated by the endless repetition of action and consequence. Everyone has a part to play even the ones who choose not to and all life is sacred because we all need to die sometime.
My mother says I'm a simple child.
On a personal note, I have a small god of irony who sits on my shoulder. He ensures that whatever action I take, gives me the most ironic results. There has been no exception to his rule yet.
The time has come to talk of many things: Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax, Of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, And whether pigs have wings.

Tell me about your idea of God, or lack thereof.
