Have you ever considered that God might be a 'what'

                 rather than a 'who'. Try asking the question 'what is

               God', instead of 'who is God'. This will give the way for a
                  new understanding of God. What is God? God is a

                 spirit. This answer gives us a fresh range of questions

                  us to deviate from the popular imagery of God, the

                 supreme in human form, typically depicted in Michael

                Angelo's statue, and away from the idea of a spirit as a

               ghostly form though still in a human shape, and then to a

                  notion of pure energy. What is pure energy? God, a
