I personally believe in the importance of faith to the human spirit. Faith pulls me away from total self-destructive nihilism which "realism" consistantly leads me too. But faith gives me strength and hope to believe that there is a power in what I will never be able to understand. And who am I to really have any real answers when my existant is so fininte? So to me, "god" is what is beyond my own knowing and ego. Of course, I have a little bit of "god" in me because I am a part of the larger universe. I try to embrace the mystery of the unknown, knowing that the more questions i ask the more questions there will be.
Faith and "god" are extremely personal things and it is extremely dangerous to create one singular image for all of us to follow. That being said, I was raised in a religious household (Jewish) and totally threw the dogma out the door.
