For Shivani
God is about science and not about Vaishnaivt or Shaivat.
Creation proceeds with nuclear fusion reactions that are led by Vishnu series of Gods and annihilation proceeds with nuclear fission reactions that are monitored by Shiva series of Gods. Hence they are both equal.
What you people are discussing is a literary bla bla bla. Instead you can take up 2 years Masters Degree Course in Spiritual Science and become a self realized souls.

If it were only that easy to get a "Degree in Moksha", more people would be doing it.

To me it's quite simple.
God is the Universe. We are the Universe. We are God.

Some are God themselves...while others aren't even the dust under God's feet.

I just woke up...and my brain is way too foggy for Theosophy right now..but that has never stopped me before...
So, another may say "I am God"
I will say "I am not God" (and of course a humble devotee will say that)
So, the other will say "yes, you are... because we are ALL God"
Which always leaves me thinking "Why don't people just say "we are ALL God" to start with? Wherefore does the need arise to personalise it with the "I"?
Then, the "I" (which is my ego) wonders...is the ego also God? and if so, anybody can say "I am God" until such times as the ego is dropped.
I once met a man called Jesus Christ...in a lunatic asylum...Just don't ask me what I was doing there. LOL
So, if I am God... and you are God...and we are God together...I wonder if we can get Barney the Godly Dinosaur to put a tune to that?
For now, I will respect the human rights of another to be God...while I will keep God and my Ego self separate, because it makes for some untold and incredible blissful experiences.

God = eternally existent, finite, occupied Space Uni-V-erse.
There is no reason/purpose for the God/Universe existence
The metaphysical-1, mind/intellect God exists as placebo effect for some people. Placebo effect has been shown in some lab experiements to be effective 10% of time
Each individual will have their own set of reasons --or not-- for the existence of the existence of their conceptual God.
1} helps them to find order from what appears to them to be an environment of disorder,
2} to be accepted in a community of shared believers specifially defined God, see myriad of differrent relgions,
3} because their have not been able to find truth in these regards are happy to go along with the conditioning passed onto them by their parents and perhaps their religous peers,
4} pagan local and special-case gods of river, air, sun, moon, etc.
" G "od > God > god
" G " od = Most inclusive set of metaphysical-1 God and God/ Uni- V- erse and local special-case gods{ small g }

If I may chime in, this is a topic I've long been interested in. With a bit of research it becomes obvious that the various gods that existed all over the ancient world had common roots.
E.g. the god that Christians worship is not actually Yahweh, the Jewish God, but rather Zeus/Jupiter, who even according to mainstream scholars is the same as Indra (think about the Long white beard, above the clouds, white robes, golden throne, commanding storms and throwing lightning bolts are mortals that displease him. Clearly, "God" is Zeus. Also, the roots for Deity, Theist, Atheist are all Deus, which in itself comes from Zeus).
Durga is the Same goddess as Ishtar/Aphrodite/Venus. There are many other examples, which is not surprising, since the Indo-Europeans were essentially a Vedic culture, who shared the same language, religion and culture thousands of years ago.
Another aspect I find interesting, is that The Devas were Hindu gods and the Asuras Hindu demons (or Titans, to use the Greek word), but in ancient Persia it was the other way round, The Asuras were considered gods and the Devas demons.
A similar "demonisation" of gods took place in the Middle East where formerly respected Gods became Goetic demons in Christianity, such as Baal becoming the Demon Belial or Beelzebub.
My own feeling is that gods are simply intelligent forces of nature that we choose to antropomorphise to better understand and interact with them. That we name the various planets and "heavenly" objects after various ancient gods is a clear indication of this subconscious bias.
