Is there a Prime Source of all life.. and if so shall we call that "God?"

Is there a Prime Creator?

How does one "find God?"

Why do people even look for it?

What is it?

Trinity: It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.
Neo: What is the Matrix?
Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.

Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

Sorry, for some reason the OP questions brought the Matrix to my mind. I think it is relevant though.

Yes there is one creator. One "prime source". How could their be multiple? Not two of any of the "religion" beliefs can co-exist, therefore not two of any God(s) could exist.

Yes, that's obvious even to a secular atheist.



Probably not because clearly we are it. At least we are a manifestation of it. So why call it "God"?

The problem with the term "God" is that it has been perverted over the millennia to become identified with personified godheads who in many cases have been associated with blood sacrifices and petty, often perverted, demands of human behaviors via uncouth dogmas.

If there exists a prime source of life we can rest assured that it cannot possibly be as petty as the man-made images of the gods have become.

Although, having said that, there are clearly exceptions to this. There have been images of personified Gods and Goddesses who have indeed reflected truly divine notions and pure love.

So there can indeed be a romantic aspect to the images of Gods and Goddesses, when mankind doesn't pervert them by turning them into hideous dogmas that must be "obeyed" at all cost lest this supposed God will become a demon and condemn them in despicable ways.

When the gods are portrayed as demons that must be appeased and obeyed lest ye be punished, you can be certain that the religions associate with those "Gods" have become nothing more than man-made cultural political propaganda being shoved down the throats of people for the purpose of trying to control their behavior.



If there is, we are it.



That's actually the simplest thing. Just find your true self and you've found God. Unfortunately, as simple as this is, many people cannot seem to find it.



It's an innate characteristic of any being to seek to know its true nature.




Tat t'vam asi.

God is here now always.
