I don't know, but for me, God is just the western word used to describe whatever it is that was the source of existance, and that makes existance possible. I think the answer to that is the only thing that isn't illusionary. For instance, it doesn't take much thought or insight to ask what did 'the big bang' originate from. So, for me, to assume that the big bang is the 'source' of life is illusionary, delusional. I am naturally compelled to wonder about it and seek answers. And the only things that make sense to me, are the principles of all encompassing oneness, long discussed by many of the 'outstanding' Spiritual people throughout human history, and now even being alluded to by 'modern science'.
