What is the point of this?
Like many other people, we are curious about the nature of God. We are even more curious about what other people think about God because that might help us figure it out ourselves. We are also secretly hoping that if this site gets popular enough, God will come out and answer the question himself (like everyone else, we're just guessing as to the gender). In the absence of that unlikely event, what we believe with certainty is that beliefs need to be questioned from time to time. Blind faith is not a virtue. Yes, we hope you have fun with this site, but we encourage you to consider each entry as more than just an amusing footnote in your journey of spiritual edification. You might be surprised at what you learn (even if what you learn is exactly how inflexible you've become).
Who is behind this?
Does it matter? We could be your next door neighbours. We could be a couple of bored Canadians. We could be hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings protruding into your dimension searching for the Meaning of Life (if only to stop the constant interruptions to our games of Brockian Ultra Cricket). We live in a world of infinite possibilities. Let's try and keep it that way.
Are you God?
I am. Depending on which theory you subscribe to. Of course, you could be God too. Probably the same theory. Think about it.
Don't you realize you're going to Hell for this?
That's far too subjective a term for us to worry about it as an actual consequence.
What do all the numbers and mathematical symbols next to my definitions mean?
Well my friend, God may rule in a theocracy, but this site is a democracy, and we employ a voting system to find out who's popular (please note that popularity and theological accuracy share absolutely no genetic material) and who's not (just because nobody likes you, doesn't necessarily mean you're not right. Although sometimes that's the reason nobody likes you. On the other hand, you might just be really unpleasant.). The number you see is the rating for a particular definition. This rating determines which definition will make it into the Top 10 and is a general indication as to the popularity of that definition. The plus sign means you like it, the minus sign means you don't. Clicking either will affect the rating accordingly. It's like American Idol, but with free-to-click buttons instead of a phone number which charges you money for no apparent reason.
And what about that "x"?
The "x" is, despite the pattern, not a multiplication sign. The "x" is a special button that should be used only in those, hopefully, rare cases where someone has broken one of the three rules we have conveniently laid out for you right underneath the response box. Pressing that "x" button will alert us to the offending definition, and if we agree that the definition is in violation of one of the three rules, then it will be stricken from existence. Smote. If you will. We must emphasize that we will not remove a definition simply because it is contrary to your own belief. So please save your energy, because no matter how many times you click that "x", we probably won't be removing all those definitions that include the word "thetan".
Why is my definition of God missing?
Well, it might be a problem with the Internet. But more likely, you broke one of the rules. While we won't go so far as to say your beliefs are wrong, you probably need to work on expressing them in a less offensive fashion. And even if it turns out that you're right, and God really is a giant, ridiculously soft ball of yarn assembled from millions of tiny bleating lambs, you don't have to be a dick about it.
So what's your definition of God?
See above re: ball of yarn.
