but when someone else uses the term "God", what imagery does this invoke for you? as in what do you think others believe "God" to be? when someone says "God Bless America" describe what entity you imagine that they are referring to.

Oh shit. Now you're asking what I think other people believe "God" to be?

I often have trouble sleeping due to what I think other people's concept of "God" is.

If there were a God I would imagine him as simply the very moment the observable universe was created, 13.7~ billion years ago. If you adhere to causal/adequate determinism, everything that will ever happen was determined at that point. There is a strong case for determinism, and if determinism is true, it's hard to envision any other kind of God than one that is manifested as either a unifying force, or a singular point of origin (self-caused first cause), or both.

But I do not believe that to be the case
