Overview

Although there are many variations between religions (and even between different branches of the same religion) on the nature of God, it is generally agreed that God is a supernatural entity who created the universe.

Details which may vary from belief to belief include:

  • God's mortality (is God still around?)
  • God's omniscience (does God know everything, or are God's perceptions limited?)
  • God's omnipresence (is God everywhere at once, or does God have a specific location?)
  • God's omnipotence (can God do anything? If he can do "anything" can he violate the laws of logic as well as physics, e.g. "Can God make a stone so heavy that he can't lift it, and then lift it?")
  • God's gender (is God a He, She, or It?)
