My general beliefs are Buddhist, but my views about "God" are Deist. "God," such as it is, exists, but in a very etherial sense. It is an omnipotent being, and being such, is WAY about any sort of human comprehension. Typical religious beliefs tend to personify "God" with human traits (having a gender, writing books, caring about sex, deciding who wins the Superbowl, et cetera), but "God" is in no way human. As a "creator," "God" (I'm tired of writing "God" like that, so I'll call it Pat from now on, nice gender neutral name so those batty feminists like Haunted don't go for the short hairs at me), didn't just make existance in seven days. The world came into existance through scientific means. Pat doesn't decide what happens, care where we stick our respective sex organs, have a "chosen people," worry about what day it is, or listen to Wolfmother. Pat simply exists. Any attempt to wonder what Pat is like is futile, because, again, humans are ill-equipped to comprehend real omnipotence.
