Maureens Ramblings
I was challenged following my July Ramblings to dene what I
mean by the concept God. I used to rise to this challenge a lot
when I was teaching A Level religion and philosophy to oAen
scep9cal students and know it be a HUGE subject but here goes, in
500 words - my soundbite deni9on of God.
Hang on in which way shall I dene God? Shall I do it in a
minimalis9c, non specic way which seeks to dene the necessary
characteris9cs that God displays? If I do this, I will say that I believe
God is an en9ty that is above and beyond the universe and is not
subject to the laws of the universe. In addi9on, he (it is
anthropologically necessary to use the limited term he or she as it does not work at all!) created
the universe and the physical laws that govern it, however that happened - be it over millions of years
or through a Big Bang etc. (Genesis was never meant to be a scien9c text-book but a story for
people seeking to understand their world). God exists eternally and innitely, which is why he has no
cause for his existence and no beginning or end. If we ask who created God then whoever created
God must be God and so on.
Over the centuries, there have been many aeempts by philosophers to prove the existence of God,
and a canon of classic arguments has been developed which are con9nually revised and defended
afresh. Whether any of these arguments for the existence of God are successful, of course, remains
controversial. Maybe Google Pascals Wager, the Ontological Argument, the Cosmological (the rst
cause) Argument, the Teleological Argument (the argument from design), the Moral Argument, and
the Argument from Religious Experience all arming that belief in God can be ra9onal even if it
cannot be supported by evidence. Are you s9ll awake???
Or, shall I dene God as understood through the prism of the Chris9an faith? If I do this then I believe
that God has all of the aforemen9oned characteris9cs, as well as many others. He is omni- benevolent
(all-loving), omniscient (all-knowing), immutable (unchanging), interested in human beings and
involved in human life. He is also omnipotent (all-powerful), is perfectly just, and is the basis for all
morality. In fact, he created a moral code, which is imbedded within all humans. Maybe my next
Ramblings should be on how I believe in a loving, all powerful God when there is so much suering
and evil in the world? Oh no! I hear you shout!!
So did these deni9ons (in the scores of books I have read and the discussions I have had) lead me to
believe in God? Not really! I looked at the life and teaching of Jesus and decided that he makes more
sense of the world and of my life than anything else or anyone else I have encountered. As I wrote last
month, I cant prove the existence of God. But I know that the enrichment, fullment (including
intellectual) and wholeness I have found in my life through my developing faith in God (and its
inevitable ups and downs) has become integral to who I am.
