But yeah... If God is a seperate entity, we can't be talking about the God from christianity.
But yeah I guess im an idiot if some sort of external being is in charge of the universe. To me though that just doesnt seem logical/plausible/believable/possible... Well maybe possible, but not really. It just seems so naive.

Nah.. Think deeper man...
For starters, where are you getting your 'characteristics of god' from? God is not a defined class like a species. Humans began with the word god (in ancient tongues) and decided (by fate) on the existance of an ultimate power and slowly world philosophers and wise men created all these concepts on what they believe to be the characteristics of their said 'god'.. The christian god? The christian 'version' if you'd call it that of god stems back to the jewish people adapting religious belief's taken from the sumerian culture. (like the book of genesis).
If you break it down and think on terms more logically based on no pre-disposed opinions on what god may be. Then what exactly is god?
Would god be the natural force allowing the conditions of this planet the ability to harbour life? Or is god the innitial cause during a moment of the most extreme singularity before the big bang that caused everything to set in motion? Or is god a far more intelligent lifeform than us who used their ability to manipulate space and time to create our solar system out of floating or generated matter therefore creating us and our light, and our planet possibly in the measure of 6 units of time measurement no longer known to the human race that we now boldly name 'days'.
Could he be a combination?
That innitial cause, mixed with a race so advanced they were able to live to the dying moments of their universe and simply manipulate time and rewind it back to the beginning of everything thereby creating a never-ending cycle that we are merely puppets or innocent bystanders in the larger scheme of things.
We could be guinnea pigs to a higher intelligence in our galaxy or universe that is testing the reactions of lab created artificial life to situations of remote existance in a spiral galaxy.
What is god to us then?
We dont actually know anything about god.
So how can our concepts of a larger power in the universe even begin to be definitive and correct?
Dont get caught up too much in what you think you know about any religious concept. And there is absolutly no way you can say your god logically....
