God in 2009

The idea of "God" always makes me wonder about the god in each religion. I always thought that everyone believes in the same one, but just have different characteristics from religion to religion. That is a bit hard to explain. It all has to do with perspective. Say, there is one person (God). Now, all the pathetic humans look up to this God and see a different side of him/her. So now, they all think that their god is a different being when, really, there's only one. That probably doesn't make sense...

God in 2009. I am going to assume that this post is supposed to be about how people view God in 2009. When I am on the computer, digging around in forums and such places, I occasionally come across “96% of teens won't stand up for God. Put this on your page if you're one of the 4% who will.” or something else of that nature in someone’s signature, page, profile, etc. I know that that number isn’t accurate and that it changes from time to time, but it really makes me wonder about the real percentage. I think that “96% of teens won't stand up for God. Put this on your page if you're one of the 4% who will.” implies that it is “not cool” for people to believe in God, and that those who are believers, should be proud. In my opinion, it labels individuals and gives an impression.
