First, if you're entering in the thread to post a silly picture or go on some anti God rant, then I gotta ask, why? If the thread bothers you so much, you shouldn't have read beyond the title. The purpose of this thread is to talk to those who believe one way or another in God.
I see God as an almighty being that can't be imagine, a being that has no ending and no beginning. A being that exist without a place, because He created all space. One that has created everything in way that we can understand how the things are formed.
I won't call myself very religious, but I have no doubt in my mind that God exist and that the scriptures we've received is to bring awareness that God loves us and that we should be faithful to God and treat each other with kindness.
I've more or less renounced almost all the Hadiths (I see them as borderline means that leads to idol worshipping), unless they conform with the Quran. I do not believe in the sayings on which foot you enter the bathroom in or which side of your body you should sleep on. I'm aware that this isn't a popular stance amongst Muslims, but I fear that many Muslims are neglecting the Quran and constantly letting imams and sheikhs dictating their lives using hadiths, instead of encouraging reading and understanding the Quran. Such things leads to idol worshipping, and the proof is how trinkets are sold apparently containing the last prophets hair and such.
For me and my faith, I see God as the one true being and the messengers, while blessed by God, are still human and their role was to spread the message of God and not become worshipped.
I see myself in terms of believing in God as strong, but when I read the Quran I always feel that I'm not doing enough. I'm a patient man though and I pride myself knowing that I'll always do the right thing.
