by describing god as everything, you are essentially saying that everything is everything. aside from being redundant, this would seem to only cloud the issue of the existence of god.
Actually that is my point completely. I denounce the Christian view of a sentient being. I put the word "God" in quotation marks to indicate that I believe their concept of this sentient being is nothing more than a connection that all energy in the universe shares, and the mysterious properties that come of this connection.

I also believe that as we humans are a form of energy, we, too are connected on some cerebral level. Many laugh at this, but look at two people who are very intimately intertwined. When my ex and I were still together, I would always know when she woke up in the middle of the night because I would wake up at the same exact times. Sometimes she would call me if she woke up for no reason because she knew that I had just woke as well. In the mornings I would tell her the exact times during the night that she woke up, and sometimes the reasonings. I was never wrong.

Conversely, the fateful day that she slept with another man, I could instantly tell. I had the most sickening feeling in my gut, one that left me short of breath and my connection with her felt tainted. I knew immediately that she was having sex with somebody else, and I even knew how many times during that day and for how long. Accurately as I later found out. Im not trying to say Im psychic because I cant control any of this, but I do believe that all humans are connected on some level or another. My personal experiences are just a fraction of why I believe this.
