I don't really know who or what God is? I also don't know what the role is of a God? People say there are thousands and thousands of gods. What would be the difference between a God and the very intelligent sentient beings in outer space, if there are any? Is our god their god, or is their god our god's, god? Or are they separate gods? And does everyone pray to them, or do they hold classes? And what does this prayng mean?

Do we have a personal God? If so, are they the God of all the other gods and all the gods in the universe? And which one of the gods on earth is top God? Or instead of the Trinity are there thousands of different names for the same God? If there are different names for the same God, why do they have different ideas? I don't think the Christians have ever talked about rewarding men with 72 virgins. How do the virgins feel about this? And one has to wonder if god has a sense of humor having some people worship the rats. Is god messing with us?

I have asked these questions over my lifetime, but have never gotten a satisfactory answer. Well one idea that has stuck with me which I've posted many times by Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell's buddy, is this. He said we have this tendency to divide the universe between the organic and the inorganic. I think consciousness is a third entity in the universe.

So what does that mean?

Are there sentient beings that are billions of years old traversing infinite universes at infinite levels of sophisticated consciousness, and dimensions and manifestations?

All I have are lots of questions.
