It would depend on how you were going to define God.
Abraham's God, Spinoza's God?

I think we should go wiht just the basic idea of a higher power or creator in general. We can easily get wrapped up in the different interpretations, and that would be a far more complex poll.

For the most part people who worship God aren't worshiping like they should they are worshiping it in a way that is a caricature of what their beliefs should be.
Quite frankly if he is there he is the most unfair man in history because if people who have wronged me find salvation I will get no justice in the next life and if that is the case then I find the abyss more comforting than most other things that would be theory.

Higer power as in some kind higher organziation I could probably lean towards, creator.. not so much, I highly doubt that any "creation"(the way I view things, transformation is a more apt wording) had intent behind it. I'll simply go with the fence sitter "I don't know" responce.

Kind of.
I believe that "god" is the collective universe as a whole entity, including all parts, bits, energy, space, consciousness, etc.
So in a matter of speaking, "God" creates everything because it is everything. In other words, think of yourself -- are you the self or the culmination of the trillions of cells of your body? Where do you begin and your cells end? Do you create your cells or do they create you?

I know that the Gods of the Bible, the Torah and the Koran do not exist. However, that doesn't mean there is not some kind of higher being. But it could be anything:
There's no way to know.

I believe many Gods exist. Not just one. I use to be a so called Christian. But I have since grown an open mind and realized that one religion is no more right then the other.
I believe in spirits or "ghosts" if you will. I also believe there are other populated planets out there somewhere.
