God is a deity in theistic and deistic religions and other belief systeems,representing either the sole deity in monotheism,or a principal deity in polytheism.God is must often conceived of as the supernaturel creator and overseer of the universe,theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to many different conceptions of God.The most commen among these include omniscience,omnipotence,omnipresence,omnibenevolence[perfect goodness] ,divine simplisity,and eternal and necessary existence.GOD HAS ALSO BEEN CONCEIVED AS BEING INCORPOREAL,A PERSONAL BEING ,THE SOURCE OF ALL MORAL OBLIGATION,ANMD THE GREATEST conceivable existent".Today there are more then six billion people in this world and each person has his own thoughts about GOD.how can a person know for sure what he is really like ..isnt it? what is your say...

For myself, I think I can know much about God by observing all the wonderful things that are in nature, and by realizing the most intricate and wonderful way things are ordered in the universe.
Another way, is to observe people. We are so fragile, and yet so strong. And I feel I know something of God from the way he has worked in my personal life.

What ever happens in our life that's for our good only. If we are happy in each and every moment then we never realize the taste of happiness. Just believe in god. And continue to do our work sincerely god will definitely helps us.

The full form of GOD is Generator, Operator and Destructor as per the Hindu Mythology. God is Omni-potent, Omni-present, Helper and Guide always. You may not be able to see God but one thing is certain which I am telling you from my own experience. You can feel for yourself that God is with you in your hour of need provided you have full faith in Him. No doubt there are more than six billion human beings in the world but these human beings have been created by Him? We can't judge the attributes of God though Humility is said to be His foremost attribute. But I put one question for the readers: Can a child ever know who his real father is? The answer would be clear cut no. The answer lies in just your belief or what your mother might have told you. Then how you can know about God who is the creator of this whole world? A drop can't compare itself with the whole ocean and we the human beings, are just the droplets of a vast ocean.

We human beings,the flowers, the plants,the animals,the stone,the air,the water,everything is god by itself.Therefore its our duty or our way of dealing the life with in a positive and creative way,without harming others in any form,again the God is within us and hence its important how we perceive the things is what matter the most.
Different religion are the different path that we follow to reach out to God,One thing by which I am attached to my religion is only because of the fact that it does not compel us or me to do certain things or rituals by hook or by crook to reach out for the God,whereas in some religion there is compulsion to carryout certain things and that's the compulsion which kill the very essence of its spirit of holiness.....
In Hindu Religion its the example that have been put forth by the almighty in the form of a simple human-being and that's the teaching whether one except it or reject it, its all your choice,hence instead of preaching or passing a message is way different then putting example by practicing is more important.

Person's beliefs on god are based on other people's beliefs. And they are just that- believes. There's no way you can now

There are over 6 billion people in this world and each person has his or her own thoughts about god. Wait for lighting to strike? devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that god will accept you.
In this diagram the arrows illustrate how we might try to reach god through our own efforts. We may try to do good things in life, or earn god's acceptance through a good life or a moral philosophy. But our good efforts are insufficient to cover up your sin.

My personal opinion is that for realising GOD, one need not be a worshipper, but ONE has to believe.

True, there is belief... but what should develop right after is FAITH. If you believe in your God/Gods, you would enrich yourself in knowing more about him/her/them once you have FAITH.
Religion is void without Faith.

As I read your post A scripture came to mind Isaiah 66:1 "Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?"
I think what God is in beyond our understanding. But I do have a personal experience to share. I am pentecostal, when I was tarrying for the holy ghost the day I received the baptism of speaking in tongues I had a vision. I was at once there with people around me and somewhere else also. In this other place I was in a endless sea or ocean and I felt as if waves were washing over me and I couldn't breath I kept fighting it and fighting to breath than I am not sure if someone said let go or if it just came to me but I did and I had the sensation of the waves rolling over me and into me and I began to speak in other tongues and felt that the water wasn't threatening but it was warm and soothing as if I was in my mothers safe embrace that I had forgotten a long time ago. I think God is real what God is I don't know but I have faith that one day I will be there again and have full understanding.

We are not following hearsay. We have clear view about it. Quran says:-
"Say: He is Allah, the One, neither gave birth, nor born and none comparable unto him" (Quran 112)
"Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His dominion extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great." (Quran 2:255)
"And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided. "
Quran 2:186
[b]"He is Allah , other than whom there is no deity, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. He is the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful"
"He is Allah , other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him."
"He is Allah , the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."[/b]
Quran 59:22-24
Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him."
Quran 3:84
[b]
You alone We worship, and only Your aid We seek.[/b] Quran 1:5
There are 99 names attributed to him, which are his attributes: Some of them are: Most merciful, Most gracious, Most forgiving, all powerful, all knowing, all hearing, all seeing, all pardoner, All wise, etc...
PS: Allah = The One Almighty God
May Almighty God guide us to the right path.

Forget everything you know or have been taught about God. You must search for God and discover on your own.Actions speak louder than words. The universe,world, and people are God's creations. Understand how it all does add up. You will be well on your way to understanding God.Sometimes those who search find what they search for.

Hi codeofuniverse.
Well, you know me by now. Simply put: Committing to God through Christ and trusting the Holy Bible. Honestly, once one is in Christ and Christ is in them the Holy Bible comes alive and there are so many good things, many simple, some deep one learns about God. The learning is done not just with the Holy Bible, but actually fellowshipping with God through Christ.

Personally for me the concept of God is very personal. I belive that every person is basically longing for the oneness with his supernature. Even an Atheist has this basic instinct in him. It is Basic Human Desire to look for somthing supernatural. Since everybody is unique and personal the concept of God also may vary accourding to the capacity fo each individual's thinking power, education, experience, enviorment and so on. One can attribute to God any quality which is our limitation. For example we are not eternal we attribute God as He is Eternal. We are limited in power therefore we attribute super power to him. In the same way we attrtibut to him Omnipotent, Omniscience, omnipresence, omnibenevolence etc. In short we belive in Super natural God in different forms and names.
