Who is your God?

oh u r so right!i cringe at the signt of burned children and babies in this israel/Hamas fiasco....so senseless......the notion of a God... of a higher power is a recovery issue......and what works for ppl is so much an individual thing!

This is really a alcoholism topic isnt it lol

Im agnostic i dont know, but with regard to diffrent religions i think people should realise that whether your a muslim, christian, buddist, hindu or what ever you all believe in the same freaking guy just with a diffrent name... so why do people still kill and torture each other over it? God and allah same dude.. lol

hi there. from all i've experienced and tried, i think there is a greater power but as far as specifics, i don't think i'll ever fully understand it. i'm more familiar with (and as a result more partial to) christian theology. however i can't help but question anything that has been translated or interpreted by human free will. my conception of god is defined as much by what i believe god isn't, as what i believe god is. organized religion and personal spirituality are often at odds because of the dominant exclusion mentality found in most of modern society. as far as myself, i have to keep things simple and have found that i know very little. what i do believe is god doesn't want me to kill myself with chemicals, harm another person, or go through this life as the self-centered miserable disaster that i became. for a long time my god was in a bottle as the booze, pills and the rest did for me what i couldn't do unaided. as long as i was under the influence i could have courage, freedom from worry and fear, and be content with my present circumstances. of course this heaven eventually became hell and without the chemical peace of mind i was empty. this emptiness is what i have to replace in order to continue living on a daily basis and in order to do so, i have to do the things that the steps of recovery require to the best of my ability. i never do this with any degree of perfection and often stumble and fall. but so far this time around i always get back up again and try to learn from my mistakes. and while i'm still here i'm trying to help others any way i can. and all of this begins with a simple daily resolve to hang on and not pick up no matter what happens. and god willing, it will continue to work as long as i keep trying. take care,   gm

i don't proclaim to have the answer to this...i'm not for sure there is a God..i hope so.....i pray a lot to quiet my mind....i look at all the beautiful animals and plants in this world and i wonder who made that?And i get very angry when humans abuse desecrate or exploit them for profitI know where i wanna go when i die.....i sure hope i can....google The Rainbow Bridge and read!Thats my idea of heaven!Loved Joan Osbornes song in 1995 that raised quite a ruckus that she won a Grammy for....What if God was One of Us?

and the quiet voice within. I guess it is hard to pinpoint. I was just hoping to see what others consider their higher power?
