Infinity is the only "rational" understanding god can be given to a rational person.

Irrationally... God is a marble.
The Universe is what it is. A expanding something.
If it is expanding then it has a edge and is therefore not infinite, just really damn big so that the bigness is just to big. Least we know the direction to the center.

Anyway great philosophical debate.

My thoughts as I read this are about interpretation and expression. You can interpret anything personally, socially, as a group, or as a race, but it comes down to the expression used.
I think that the idea of God is a great idea, but in reality its probably just not real. I am a scientist (Guided by Voices) in my thinking. Was there a Jesus? Was he the son of God? Probably, but he was just a man who had great ideas of how to treat other people and yourself. Its the expressions he used to explain himself e.g. the stories, parables. In every religion there are expressions used to define God, and your Higher Power/conscience.
The interpretations of this is what get me. Organized religion is to specific and in need of money.
Not sure where I was going to go here. Hmm.

Basically, I walk the path in front of me in this shared reality I share with all of you. The body is the temple, god is inside you, find meaning in things, do unto others...
