Not sure, but I suspect he is homeless.

What is this “god” you speak of?

I heard that a man found God in Ohio. Who’d have thought?

What if God was one of us?

I have a feeling this question is going to lead to more questions!

He’s kind of like any other very famous personality—he’s got lots of houses and maybe if you go to one of them, you’ll find him.

Hey, give @AstroChuck a break. He’s only six after all. (And, he is the delivery man.)

@johanna
Would you be a little more caring towards the Pastafarians amongst us, please?

johanna's avatar

Whitenoise, sorry, but no, even though the spaghetti monster might be appealing to some and quite pretty I still insist he is a mere mortal invention like the rest of the deitys and belong in the same special place.

It appears that no one is taking the question seriously. I’ve been modded for less.

Without knowing which God you are speaking of it is difficult to say. E.G. If you’re talking about the flying spaghetti monster I’d say it lives in the minds of caustic atheists. On the other hand if you are referring to the God I believe in than I’d say He is omnipresent. It should be humbling that it’s at least remotely possible that God is sitting right beside you watching as you mock Him.

@NaturalMineralWater, who’s scruffy-looking?

zephyr826's avatar

Les Mes (the Musical, though I think it might be in the book, too) says, “To love another person is to see the face of God”. I think it’s a good idea to treat people as such. Regardless of the deity you believe in (or don’t), treating other people with the amount of respect you would reserve for a deity can’t hurt.

He lives in my closet right next to my evil monkey. They hang out and smoke pot quite often. I’m scared to sleep in my room sometimes.

sevenfourteen's avatar

I always believed that God was where the clouds break and the light shines from the sky (as corny as that sounds). I don’t think he has a specific home if you believe he’s omnipresent

johanna's avatar

Naturalmineralwater,
who is this The God you are talking about? Does this god belong to a particular religion?

tinyfaery's avatar

In the minds of those that believe.

Was this intentional? Or are you actually oblivious to the FSM argument?

dannyc's avatar

In your family’s faces, and of friends, and strangers and in their smiles. God is in all you love and who love you. Even if there is no god, there is god-like people everywhere. You just have to look. Even in Iran.

wundayatta's avatar

If there’s no there there, then how could there be a where for God (whatever that is) to be?

cbloom8's avatar

The minds of those who believe in him. No where else.

prasad's avatar

God lives in our hearts. He goes through everything that we go through; he knows everything that we know, think and more.

I cannot explain with my current vocabulary of English; but I’ll try. God is formless and limitless. You may think of God like a sky. He is inside us, outside and everywhere.

sevenfourteen's avatar

@prasad – your current vocabulary? is english not your first language?.. just curious

prasad's avatar

@sevenfourteen No, English is not my first language. My mother tongue is Marathi (language spoken in Maharashtra state of India where I live), I know Hindi as it’s India’s national language; and it’s very similar to Marathi so it’s easy to learn. Both of these languages came from older language Sanskrit, which is not currently used but is of historical interest. Many older epics, books, etc. are in Sanskrit. Almost all books have been translated though.

I studied in Marathi in school. For graduation and post graduation, there’s no choice but English. It’s been years I am using English, but I am not good as you are. Anyway, I’m trying to improve.

laureth's avatar

Your English is far superior to that of many native English speakers I meet on a daily basis. Way to go! :)

laureth's avatar

You must be one of those new-fangled Gods, what with 16 lurve.

poopnest's avatar

For better or for worse, god(s) is/are located in the collective (or not so collective) mind of the human being and is the symbol used to describe the cosmic brain, which nobody seems able to resolve whether or not it even exists.
