Either way or whatever God you believe in.. do you believe?
In my opinion God is in many places, but I prefer to read what other mycotopians have to say first.
God is Love.

Thus, if you want a thunderous cranky old man on a throne hurling brimstone, or expect that, that's what you'll get. You want a loving Goddess.. reframe your point of view. Want nothing? Get Nothing.. It's really up to you and how you believe, until you experience..
It is said that you never see the Face of Allah ( God), until you die. The best you can do is to see the Throne of the Creation, (which is trust me, enough in itself). So should you desire to go beyond forms, that Light will guide you there..

you believe god sits on a throne ?
does that mean he has an ass to sit upon too ?
i am doubtful there is a 'throne', frankly.

Didn't say God sat on a throne.. Didn't describe what the throne was.. . or anything about it.. Didn't talk about the 4 archangels of the throne or the 3 archangels of the presence... Didn't talk about all the Light.. didn't share details of the experience either....
Right now, it's just a mirror reflecting your beliefs back to you...

it comes with a meaning already attached
you mentioned seeing this throne.throne |θrōn| noun a ceremonial chair for a sovereign, bishop, or similar figure. • ( the throne) used to signify sovereign power : the heir to the throne.
since you just told me what you didn't say,
now say what this chair for god is ?

You have posted several post that strike me as rather inquiring. WTF is up w/that? Why would you be soo curious all @ once?
Back ye Goddless heathen. Why would anyone want the devil behind them? Sounds like a porn flic I wouldn't watch.

... so like any good being we do what we do to please our god (s).
i see that as how ego wants us to view itself.. god in this case = ego (cause and fullfillment of our perceived desires). however the spiritual experience of enlightenment would seem to reverse that logic; our divine source does for us. when cut off from this state we feel a lack that our ego makes us very aware of and then tries to fill unsuccessfully when in a state of awakening and openness, all possible conceived needs are met in the moment of the present during our communion with our source. full realization of this i think is true humbleness and humility.

also i see people use gods to keep others in line in knowing what is right from wrong. like i don't know. and i wonder why is it the good die young and the bad seems to live longer and at time better? just my thoughts.

Actually, I think the throne is metaphor for one's heart or something.
All I know is that if I were an infinite, omnipotent perceiver/creator, I'd get bored after awhile out in the Void all by myself. I'd schism my awareness into infinite tiny specks, each on a journey to experience some novelty. After awhile (infinity) I'd have had all possible experiences from all possible perspectives, at which point I would recombine for a full understanding of Everything. This is a work in progress. Some traditions call reality the 'ocean' and we are 'droplets' that ultimately return to that ocean, becoming one with it. Same thing.
So basically Hip's right, he is god (small "g", sorry). And so am I and so are you. Which is redundant.
