Personally I don't think there is a god but I am not against the idea and wish that I did believe in a god since the idea of complete nothingness after death scares me.

The separation of life on Earth and God is dumb. Your God (if you really wanna call it that) exists inside of you. So I guess you can say you are your own God.
Your spirit inside of you is on a mission of self-knowledge. Which is a near unreachable and unteachable path. The only thing that can guide your spirit is your spirit itself . When you listen to a pastor/guru/whatever you get of your path for the truth. No one can guide you and you can't guide anyone else.
To answer the guy above... I think when our human bodies decide to die, our spirit always knows what the next step to reaching selfknowledge is and takes life in a new form to learn from the new experiences that carry onto the next life.
