    My idea of a God is a being that is omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent that can do anything, of course one does not exist in this Universe

    In my opinion...

    If there is a god that fits all the criteria (Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent) then that god must be the only god... because he/she/it is present everywhere. He/she/it would also know that he/she/it is the only god since he/she/it has all knowledge.

    The Hebrew/Muslim/Christian god fails this test because of several verses in the bible where this supposed god mentions "other gods"... so either the Christian god isn't omniscient or isn't omnipresent (or both). Furthermore, if he/she/it fails this test then omnipotence is also out of the question.

    Theists define God on a continuum of anthropomorphism and vague metaphor. On the anthropomorphic extreme they say "God is a man who loves you and wants a relationship with you". On the vague metaphor extreme they say "God is simply timeless energy floating around."

    i). YHWH

    ii). Love

    iii). He likes justice, love and compassion. He does not like the opposite of those things.

    iv). Couldn't tell you

    v). He is happy when people are doing justice, love and compassion.

    vi). He is sad when people do the opposite of justice, love and compassion.

    vii). His dwelling place is heaven. Although he is omnipresent. If you want him, then ask him to show himself.

    He exists in another dimension, the closest you can get to him right now is by reading your bible and praying.
