God is not a religion
God is not a culture or race
God is not a sacrifice
God is not a rite
God is not a law
God is not assured
by book or dogma
God doesn't speak in words

God is not a location
God knows no holy land
God isn't opinions
God isn't a sacrament
God isn't a system
God isn't leaders
God doesn't discriminate
in any way,
nor bless the dutiful reader

God is a Muslim
God is a Hindu
God is a Catholic,
a Buddhist, a Jew

God's church is the Universe
God's alter lit by stars
God shines within me and you
God baptized us
in placenta fluid
and blessed us
with our first breath

God gave us life
to cherish true
and our spirits to be
transformed in death

Lia

God is not out there
The true transcendent God is within us

------------------
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year....
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. ~Robert Frost

Namaste` Dear Lia!
I wish more folks had that take on God. Some seem to think God is only "on their side" or that their religion has first, or best, or only dibs on God.
God works through us, and or anything, even through the insects etcetera.

One more thing, rather an echo of what Evey said about V in V for Vendtta.....
I would add to what you said,
quote:
God is a Muslim
God is a Hindu
God is a Catholic,
a Buddhist, a Jew

a variation of her lines...(paraphrased}
replacing was with is...
and he with God...
He was(is} my father
my mother
my brother
he was me
he was you
he was us all
