Re: What is God? - I define that as more than a creator, but a guiding force which intentionally brought mankind to a level of self awareness. Whether good or bad, the God acts with a goal and purpose, and therefore with intelligence. Intelligence?? I'm afraid God is not intelligent.... Intelligence is basically a cerebral property that helps contigent creatures --such as human beings-- to fill the gap between (their) ignorance and awareness. Since God is omniscient, he doesn't need to be "smart" because he doesn't have to find anything out.... I'd say that God's mindset is closer to a sort of "autistic dumbness" --much to my chagrin....
