We don't know what god is made of, or what clearly distinguishes god from the rest of the universe. What makes god stand out against the rest of existence? I don't even begin to know what god is supposed to be.

IMO, the second you try to put words to those questions in anyway that excludes any meaning not contained in the applied words then you have created a distorted and limited image of anything that could fall under the concept of divine. God is (period). Which also means that god is not (period). 'Course I don't believe that anything which is "divine" instead of merely a piece or reflection of divinity can be broken apart from the whole of reality. And where I think what our culture regards as religious type thinking has gone wrong is that when the pieces have been seen they have been used to narrow things down instead of being looked at in a way that shows how one piece contains in it the essence of all.
