56. Below are several very brief, rough statements of variious conceptions of the Deity; check the one that most nearly approximates your view:

55 a. There is an infinitely wise, omnipotent three-person God Who created the universe and Who maintains an active concern for human affairs.

73 c. I believe in a God about Whom nothing definite can be affirmed except that I sometimes sense Him as a mighty spiritual "Presence" permeating all mankind and nature.

37 d. There is a vast, impersonal principle of order or natural uniformity working throughout the entire universe and which, though not conscious of mere human life, I choose to call "God."

67 e. Because of our ignorance in this matter, I see no adequate grounds for either affirming or denying the existence of God.

13 f. I reject all belief in anything that could reasonably be called "god" and regard every such notion as a fiction unworthy of worship.
