A Conversation for What is God?
Morality

If you look religions as a whole, 99.9% were adapted from another form of religion. In today's society when this adaption is done, we call them cults. With that in mind, people choose to believe in the 'God' that best suits their moral beliefs. Surely someone who supports abortion or is prochoice..would also choose to not be Catholic, but then again there are the exceptions called (hypocrites).
The cliche 'Don't talk about politics or religion' holds fast. You can't convince someone who stands fast to their morals to change for your morals. Nobody likes to be proven wrong. Pride rules. The atheist having no 'god' therefore chooses his/her own morals,***(subject to change without notice)***
'GOD', thus becomes the central source for bringing inner peace within ones self being.
To believe in a 'God' takes faith. If there is a 'God' then he would be here from the beginning, to offer his knowledge and guidance. Thus the religions created not adapted after humans roamed the Earth proves them false. Which takes you basically to the first language used by humans, which would be Hebrew. Hebrew has an exact name for 'God' which is YAHWEH and translates to Jehovah in the english language. With this detail all 'gods' by any other name become false, unless you believe 'GOD' came after human existence..and the egg before the chicken.

... well the egg has to come before the chicken. It's allmost self-explanatory: A chicken comes from an egg, but an egg does not necessarily come from a hen, right?

As I recall, there were many other gods around before Yahweh was dreamt up....
