I believe in God as in the feeling in your body and your mind that let you become a high concious individual because it keeps you from forming high level thought patterns in the upper layers of your hierarchy.... and I know that does not make sense to any one... I wish I could explain it better, it is still a strong intuitive belief of mine, and that's why the talk about God is always spiritual because it is very difficult to describe the intuitive feeling that is in your body and brain that you label as god, you just hope to capture a word that can describe that intuitive feeling inside of you. And thus why arguments always come up, because there is no good way to define that intuitive feeling.
But my god is the physical feeling of good inside of you, that if and when you "believe" in god, makes you "feel" physically good inside of your body when you think about the concept of God.
And I also define god as the feeling that happens in your body that allows your mind to take on a new belief system, and also the feeling that guides you to do things that can be labeled as moral. Also the force inside your body to always be curious about your environment thus the drive to always seeking "The Truth". This is how I can see that this feeling happens when I am in a creative mode, and thus I can see what prophets meant when they were "inspired by god" when they wrote the bible.
And that's why there is so many religions in the world and throughout history, everyone who became "inspired" then tries to come up with a language to describe the rules that come about from "following" that intuitive feeling. So I guess then you could claim that there is just one god, and all "other" gods are just an approximation, becuase all humans are capable of feeling the same thing, just depending on where you are born determines what language you will acquire to describe that intuitive feeling. So I will argue that "believing in god", letting that feeling stay in you will let you become a strongly creative individual and lets you live a happy life because that feeling lets you stay "high concious" and always open to learning new things thus open to and always seeking the "Truth", and I've described that being creative is an awesomely fun process when you know how to do it right.
I've found this page that basically says some of the same things.
How the bible was written
A quick page that the feeling of God is in your body:
God on the brain Quote:

Newberg's work suggests a neurological basis for what religion tries to generate.

Quote:
Religious evolution
If brain function offers insight into how we experience religion, does it say anything about why we do? There is evidence that people with religious faith have longer, healthier lives. This hints at a survival benefit for religious people. Could we have evolved religious belief?
Prof Dawkins (who subscribes to evolution to explain human development) thinks there could be an evolutionary advantage, not to believing in god, but to having a brain with the capacity to believe in god. That such faith exists is a by-product of enhanced intelligence. Prof Ramachandran denies that finding out how the brain reacts to religion negates the value of belief. He feels that brain circuitry like that Persinger and Newberg have identified, could amount to an antenna to make us receptive to god. Bishop Sykes meanwhile, thinks religion has nothing to fear from this neuroscience. Science is about seeking to explain the world around us. For him at least, it can co-exist with faith.

God and the Brain
Well for a physicists like me, understanding this is about the only way I can believe in a God, as so that is how I am able to accept Him. and not fight it so I can live a happy life.
And why I'm guessing that someone said to keep Sunday holy and not work so that you can take a break, refill your "social" tank so that it basically refills your "god" feeling tank so that you can be happy and be creative again.
Here's what I mean by "social" tank.
SO basically I'm saying, there's no point in arguing if god exists, don't fight it, just believe in Him/Her/It and be happy about it.
