From a thread on deviantART that I found interesting:
A lot of people have different definitions of what a god is, and what a god would do. Therefore, in that light, what is your definition of god? What is a god to you, and what would you expect a god to do?
So I got curious about what the good folk of PC would say.
Not that one should be able to contrive an argument from this question, but remember we are in OVP; I'm just interested in your thoughts.
My answer:
In modern times the nature of a deity describes a concept of a being which transcends the scope of nature's laws. It is simply not bound to act within them as everything we actually know to be extant is.
As an apatheist, I do not assume that such a being would actually have any power within our universe, within the scope of nature's laws. Nor do I assume that if such a being can act within our universe, that it even cares to. No deity has affected my life, and so I don't pay it any mind.
