In all of human history, there never has been and probably never will be another distinction as important as:  "Are you inside or outside of God?"  This belief, no matter which perspective one believes, is the underlying context which dominates and controls vast amounts of human behavior.   Here's the question you need to answer:  "From which of these two perspectives do  you view your relationship to Creator/God?"   

Is there a God?   Your answer to this question depends upon what you mean by the word "God."   Before you can offer meaningful answers to any religious questions, or have a reasonably meaningful discussion about them, you need to define what you mean when you say, "God."
