my old sponsor used to get so frustrated with people complicating the "god thing"... she'd say "listen, all it is is admitting that there IS something out there and that YOU'RE not it!" personally, i view god as the universe, energy flowing through all sentient beings, and a touch of a gary larson comic strip god. y'know, with the sandals and the beard.
today, i work on fully trusting god with the whole nine. i've realized that if god can take away the obsession to drink, the big guy in the sky can do just about anything. just my opinion.
