God

Concept of God
In many Western religions, God is usually said to have a specific and clearly defined relationship to, and interest in, the happenings of this world and the lives of those in it. Metaphors for God's relationship to the visible world often include that of ruling authority (king, ruler), and (in most Abrahamic religions) judge of individual activity therein.

By contrast, many Asian and Oriental religions and philosophies consider that there is an ultimate intelligence, purpose or awareness beyond this world, but without necessarily conceptualizing it in such a human-oriented manner or positing it as having created the world predominantly for human beings.

Thus, it might be fair to say that the term "God" is a label or linguistic symbol, for the ultimate being or truth of existence which many people believe exists, and that different people subsume within that term their different concepts about the nature and attributes of such a being.
