I believe God is more likely the force of everything and anything than an actual sentient being.

I'm also open to the idea of a multiverse. Admittedly, heaven is a difficult concept in which to have unshakable faith, but knowing that there are infinite universes with infinite laws of physics does make an afterlife seem somewhat possible.

This.

Essentially, I believe God probably exists as a force, we are reincarnated after we die, multiple universes exist and human life exists in alternate universes, with some of that life being reincarnated humans from Earth.

Nah, the best Hollywood interpretation of God came in the form of George Burns in Oh God!

When I was a child, I always imagined God looking like the guy on the Quaker Oats box.

The funny thing about this is that art has, for centuries, predominantly presented God as a white male. Even today, I find myself imagining God as an elderly white man, as opposed to, say, a middle-aged black woman or whatever. It's why I can't really accept the belief that God has a human form. Rather, God must be some type of force--almost like a supercomputer--that keeps everything in order. Which is why I don't really know what to label myself as religiously. I believe there is a God in some incarnation, but He/She/It is not human, and I don't feel it necessary to pray to or worship He/She/It. I absolutely align myself with certain Christian doctrines (thou shalt not kill, steal, covet, falsely worship, etc.) but other things are just far too...I don't know...extreme for me. I can't sit in a building with dozens of other people and chant in unison to appease this omnipotent force.

Anyway, that's just my scattered stream of thoughts about religion. Sorry to detract from the discussion, especially in response to such a benign post Tongue
