The problem is, you are assuming in your "if there is a God" case that you know what to do to "serve" Him.  But you don't have any basis to know that.  If you are talking about some generic God, there are infinitely many possibilities for how to "serve" Him (assuming He even needs serving).  On the other hand, if you are postulating a very specific God that you have heard about from other people or a book, then you have created a false dichotomy; there aren't just two possibilities (no God versus the God of the Bible), but rather infinitely many (God of the Bible, God of the Koran, God of a book that no one wrote yet, etc.).  So if you "serve" one of them (whatever that means), you are neglecting to serve others.\n\nSo we are back to figuring out what you believe, and going with that.  I guess if you believe in no God, you could still pick one of the infinitely many possibilities of God to "serve," but that seems awfully arbitrary, and your odds of guessing right seem so infinitesimally small that it seems hardly worth the random guess.

the basic premise of the question is in itself wrong, GOD aint everyone and everything, it is a part of him in each one of us and in things around us.\n\nso clearly a part cannot equal the whole entity, hence our pea brains as compared to HIS all encompassing knowledgeable self. \n\nso the situation you described is justified.\n\nas simple as that dear.

I think that all people are good. For some reasons some of them follow the good some others evil or bad. It deppens on their life, religion, mind, education e.t.c Theories of goodness inquire into what sorts of things are good, and what the word "good" really means in the abstract.\nAll religions and most philosophical movements have been concerned with good to some degree. It can define "good" and "bad" for a community or society. It affects everyone's life, and maybe all life on Earth, in the way people organize themselves in societies, and even how they think.\n\nThe duality of 'good versus evil' is expressed, in some form or another, by many cultures. This concept describes a hierarchy of moral standards applied to human behaviour. In more casual  use, the word "evil" can characterize people and behaviours that are hurtful, ruinous, or disastrous. Those who believe in the duality theory of evil believe that evil cannot exist without good, nor good without evil, as they are both objective states and opposite ends of the same scale.\n\nIn modern slang, "bad" has become a synonym for "good", as in "Man, that's a bad piece of music."  The ability to choose between good and evil is also a major theme of the philosophy. \nIn our life we have this abbility and we try to follow the better way. Usually our good is not your good.\nIf you want to learn more see Wikipedia

People are both, people and God, we are all FROM him, but some people are not FOR him.

Of course. It does not take a god to make one moral. Our human minds are capable of knowing what it takes to be a good person in society. Saying it takes a god is weak and it takes away from what a human can do.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.  We cab all define what god is.  Find something you like and enjoy it.

I believe that no god could be true if he/she were swayed to and fro by the many winds of the doctrine of man.  The only God I'll follow is the one who is the same today, eternal past, and eternal future.  We are right to look to God for guidance in the art of morality.  As wrong as man is apt to be, God is the only one I'd consider even asking.

well according to everyone--- god is everything... god created everything... but they tend to add the word good after the word everything... but some people call sin and lust a good feeling... but as much as I think he is... he probably just tags things that are lustful and sinful. But it's awful mean of him to tempt us into sins and lustful acts.\n\n"Lead me not to temptation, I can find it myself."

Here's another noodle-baker.  If God is all powerful and all-benevolent, why is there evil in the world at all?  Either he is not all powerful (if he were he would have no evil) or else is not all-benevolent. (He could wipe out evil but chooses to allow evil things to happen anyways, something a loving and good God would not allow.)\nTake your pick, either way God is not all-perfect.

no, believing or not believing in something like god is neither bad nor good. It's what you do with the belief or disbelief that will determine whether it's a bad thing.

When someone called him "Good", Jesus said that the only person who is "Good" is his Father, even though he himself was/is perfect in all ways! (Mark 10:18) So, if he isn't "Good", then certainly none of us could be!  This is quite a controversial subject.  So, instead of my telling my views, I'd like to share an article that elaborates on God's view of the subject ...\n\nThe Hereafter---Where Will It Be?\n - Is Earth Just A Testing Ground?\n - Eternal Happiness--In Heaven or on Earth?\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/e/20001001/article_01.htm\n\nI encourage you to check the Scriptures in your own copy of the Bible.\n\n"Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine!" \n1 Th 5:21

HAS GOD DIVIDED? I DON'T THINK SO. \n\nJUST KEEP GIVING TO GOD WHAT HE ASKS FROM YOU. THE "CHURCHES"? WELL ...HOW'S THE WEATHER?\n\nEND OF THE PROBLEMO!\n\n;)

I think good is good because it flows from God. The Bible says "God is love"...  It is the same principal...it flows from God.  \n\nJesus himself told us that only God is good.\n\nThe Bible also teaches us that we really don't know what good is because we ourselves aren't good.  We are fallen creatures and we can and do judge "good" wrongly.  We see a nice person and think they are good...but inside they are not. We can and do deceive ourselves.\n\nSince Christians are "little christ's"...we are to display the qualities of goodness and love but we still do this imperfectly.

My God is one. Creator of all things.  The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and the Bible.  Jesus is His son and the Messiah. God is the master of all things. He is all mighty. He is all powerful, merciful, loving, forgiving, and full of grace. God is the God of us all whether we acknowledge Him or not. God is the same now, yesterday and forever. God is good. His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures forever.

God is a firm connection between all of us.  We all have many things in common which connect us to each other.  What one of us will do has an impact on each other so we need to be thoughtful about how we live.  I think even if we don't see someone what we do can have a profound outcome either good or bad.
