The God of ], ] or ], or the supreme deity of ] religions, may be conceived of in various degrees of abstraction: as a powerful, human-like, supernatural being, or as the deification of an ], ] or philosophical category, the ], the '']'', the ], the ], or ] or ] itself, the ], the ] ], that which we cannot understand, etc. The more abstract of these positions regard any ] mythology and iconography associated with God either sympathetically as mere ], or ] as ]. | |||
] and ]s have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of civilization. The question of the ] classically falls under the branch of ] known as ], but is also one of the key discussions taking place within the field of the ]. | |||
== Names of God == | |||
{{see details|Names of God}} | |||
The noun ''God'' is the proper English name used for the deity of monotheistic faiths. Different names for God exist within different religious traditions: | |||
* ] is the unique name of God used in ], and also by most non-Muslim Arabs. ''ilah'', cognate to northwest Semitic ] (Hebrew "El", ] "Eloi"), is the generic word for a god (any deity), Allah contains the article, literally "The God". Also, when speaking in English, Muslims often translate "Allah" as "God". One Islamic tradition states that Allah has ] while others say that all good names belong to Allah. | |||
* ] Hebrew: 'Yud-Hay-Vav-Hay' (יה-וה), and ] are some of the names used for God in various translations of the Bible (all translating the same four letters - ]). El, and the plural/majestic form ''Elohim'', is another term used frequently, though ''El'' can also simply mean ''god'' in reference to deities of other religions. Others include El Shaddai, ], Amanuel, and Amen. When Moses asked "What is your name?" he was given the answer ''Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh,'' which literally means, "I am that I am," as a parallel to the tetragrammaton Yud-Hay-Vav-Hay. See ] for Jewish names of God. Most Orthodox Jews, and many Jews of other denominations, believe it wrong to write the word "God" on any substance which can be destroyed. Therefore, they will write "G-d" as what they consider a more respectful symbolic representation. Others consider this unnecessary because English is not the "]" (ie, Hebrew), but still will not speak the Hebrew representation written in the ], "Yud-Hay-Vav-Hay", aloud, and will instead use other names such as "Adonai" ("my Lord", used in prayers, blessings and other religious rituals) or the euphemism "Hashem" (literally "The Name", used at all other times). Another name especially used by ultra-Orthodox Jews is "HaKadosh Baruch Hu", meaning "The Holy One, Blessed is He". | |||
], in ] (1100 BC to AD 300), ] (10th Century BC to 0) and modern Hebrew scripts.]] | |||
:: In early English Bibles, the ] was rendered in capitals: "IEHOUAH" in ]'s version of 1525. The ] of 1611 renders '']'' as "The <font style="font-variant:small-caps">Lord</font>", also as "Jehovah", see Psalms 83:18; Exodus 6:3. | |||
::Research in ] shows a linguistic correlation between Levantine ] and monotheistic Yahweh, suggesting that the god may in some manner be the predecessor in the sense of an evolving religion of ]. | |||
* '']'' as "God" (with the plural suffix ''-im'', but always used with singular agreement); often used to present the ] | |||
* The ] (one God in three Persons, the God the Father, the God the Son (]), and God the ]/]) denotes God in almost all Christianity. Arab Christians will often also use "Allah" (the noun for "God" in Arabic) to refer to God.{{fact}} | |||
* ], cognate of the Greek Ζευς (]) is the ] word for God, and will come into greater currency with the return of portions of the ] Mass being said in Latin. | |||
* God is called ''Igzi'abihier'' (lit. "Lord of the Universe") or ''Amlak'' (lit. the plural of ''mlk'', "king" or "lord") in the ] Church. | |||
* ] is the name of God in the ]. | |||
* The ] name for "God" is ], which occurs in the ] name ] ("the mountain of God"). | |||
* The ] name for "God" is ''Niskam''. | |||
* Some churches (], ]) are using "the One" alongside "God" as a more gender-neutral way of referring to God (See also ]). | |||
* ] is the term used for God among the Hindus. In ], it means the Supreme Lord. Most ]s worship the personal form of God or ], as ], ], or directly as the Supreme Cosmic Spirit ] through the ]. A common prayer for Hindus is the ], which is a hymn describing the one thousand names of God. Ishvara must not be confused with the numerous deities of the Hindus. In modern Hindi, Ishvara is also called ]. | |||
* Baquan is a phonetical pronunciation for God in several Pacific Islander religions. | |||
* ] is non-theistic (see ]): instead of extolling an anthropomorphic creator God, ] employed ] to avoid speculation and keep the undefined as ineffable. Buddha believed the more important issue was to bring beings out of suffering to liberation. Enlightened ones are called ]s or Buddha (e.g, the ''Buddha'' ]), and are venerated. A ] is an altruistic being who has vowed to attain Buddhahood in order to help others to become Awakened ("Buddha") too. Buddhism also teaches of the existence of the ]s or heavenly beings who temporarily dwell in celestial states of great happiness but are not yet free from the cycle of reincarnations (]). Some ] and Tantra Buddhist scriptures do express ideas which are extremely close to pantheism, with a cosmic Buddha (]) being viewed as the sustaining Ground of all being - although this is very much a minority vision within Buddhism. | |||
* ]s invoke the five paramethis: ], ], ], ], ]. The arhantas include the 24 ] from ] to ]. But Jain philosophy as such does not recognize any Supreme Omnipotent creator God. | |||
* ] worship God with these common names ] ''Wondrous God'', Satnaam (True is Your Name), Akal (the Eternal) or Onkar (some similarity to the Hindu ]). When reciting these names, devotion, dedication and a genuine appreciation and acceptance of the Almighty and His blessings is essential if one is to gain anything by the meditation. Just mechanical reciting of the words brings little advantage to the devotee. Help of the ] is essential to reach God. | |||
* In ], names used for God include ''Anami Purush'' (nameless power) and ''Radha Swami'' (lord of the soul, symbolized as ]). | |||
* The ] refers to God using the local word for God in whatever language is being spoken. In the Bahá'í Writings in Arabic, Allah is used. Bahá'ís share some naming traditions with Islam, but see "Bahá" (Glory or Splendour) as The ] of God. God's names are seen as his attributes, and God is often, in prayers, referred to by these titles and attributes. | |||
* ] worship ]. | |||
*To many ] religions, God is called "The Great Spirit", "The Master of Life", "The Master of Breath", or "Grandfather". Other similar names may also be used. | |||

Christoph Gerozissis, Rob Keith, Stephanie Finucane and Craig Van Orsdale formed Baskervilles in New York City in 1997. The members played together for years in trashy punk and garage rock bands (one called the Baskervils started in 1993 in Tampa). Bored with loud rock and inspired by the Television Personalities, the Clientele, the Kinks, Love, the Left Banke and French Pop played by DJ Franco at the Vampyros Lesbos party in New York City, Baskervilles turned the amplifiers down to perform high energy keyboard driven pop at low volumes. The lyrics were designed to be simple narratives and open ended romantic stories, many pertaining to New York City. | |||
Conceptions of God can vary widely, despite the use of the same term for them all. ] and ] have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of ]. The God of ], ] or ], or the supreme deity of ] religions, may be conceived of in various degrees of abstraction. | |||
From 1997 to 2002, Baskervilles performed a handful of well received shows at the Mercury Lounge in the East Village. During that time, Baskervilles recorded 2 sessions at Mitch Easter’s (Let’s Active, R.E.M.) Fidelitorium studio in North Carolina and 1 session at Dubway Studios in New York City. The group made one trip outside of New York City in the summer of 2002 to perform at a museum opening at the Migros Museum in Zurich, Switzerland featuring the artwork of Yayoi Kusama and Michel Auder. | |||

The band took a 2 year break while Stephanie had a baby. Rob Keith and Christoph Gerozissis formed a nocturnal electro group called Autoparty and put out an album called Lumlight. The first New York Baskervilles show in two years happened at Sin-e’ on November 6th, 2003 to celebrate the release of a compilation on Secret Crush Records called Stamp Collecting For Beginners, featuring the Baskervilles song After Work. Secret Crush Records released the first Baskervilles album in spring of 2004 to great acclaim. The band followed up quickly by releasing the punchy new wave inspired Midnight EP in 2005 with a tour of the west coast of the United States. | |||

During the second half of 2005 and early 2006, the Baskervilles were hard at work on album #3 and a video for Midnight At The Underground Club, directed by Jake Hensberry. Thanks to a great deal of enthusiasm from Sweden, the Baskervilles delayed work on album #3 to write a 4 song EP for Kitty Litter Records. Summer 2006 promises to be a great one for the Baskervilles, with lots of shows and new songs. | |||

Monotheistic religions today are often thought of as having relatively recent historical origins — although comparison is difficult as many religions claim to be very ancient or eternal. Eastern religions, especially in ] and ], that have concepts of ], are notably difficult to classify along ] notions of monotheism vs. ]. Attempting to compare the two may be likened to the geometric puzzle of comparing the number of sides of a square to those of a circle. | |||
In the ], many cities had their own local god, although this henotheistic worship of a single god did not imply denial of the existence of other gods. The ] ] is supposed (by some scholars) to have adapted this practice to a ]ic lifestyle, paving their way for a singular God. Yet, many scholars now believe that it may have been the Zoroastrian religion of the ] that was the first monotheistic religion, and the Jews were influenced by such notions (this controversy is still in debate). | |||
== Discography == | |||
The innovative cult of the Egyptian solar god ] was promoted by the ] ] (Amenophis IV), who ruled between 1358 and 1340 BC. The Aten cult is often cited as the earliest known example of monotheism, and is sometimes claimed to have been a formative influence on early Judaism, due to the presence of Hebrew slaves in Egypt. But even though ]'s ] offers strong evidence that Akhenaten considered Aten to be the sole, omnipotent creator, Akhenaten's program to enforce this monotheistic world-view ended with his death; the worship of other gods beside Aten never ceased outside his court, and the older polytheistic religions soon regained precedence. | |||

The worship of polytheistic gods, on the other hand, is seen by many to predate monotheism, reaching back as far as the ]. Today, monotheistic religions are dominant, though other systems of belief still exist. | |||

Theologians attempt to explicate (and in some cases systematize) beliefs; some express their own experience of the divine. Theologians ask questions such as, 'What is the nature of God?' 'What does it mean for God to be singular?' 'If people believe in God as a duality or trinity, what do these terms signify?' 'Is God transcendent, immanent, or some mix of the two?' 'What is the relationship between God and the universe, and God and humankind?'{{fact}} | |||

It is also important to note that most major religions hold God not as a metaphor, but a being that influences our day-to-day existences. This is to say that people who have rejected the teachings of such religions typically view God as a metaphor or stand-in for the common aspirations and beliefs all humans share, rather than a sentient part of life; whereas organized religion tends to believe the opposite. | |||
During the short break Baskervilles had, members Rob Keith and Christoph Gerozissis formed a seperate band and wrote another album of ambient electropop, their band was called 'Autoparty' and they released a 10 track album titled 'Lumlight' in 2004. 'Lumlight' like 'Baskervilles' CD's also saw wide distribution, however it was mostly purchased on CBbaby at a low price of $5. 'Autoparty' was mostly responsible for track 10 'That Is The Scene' on Baskervilles debut self titled album, however they got Stephanie Finucane (a member of Baskervilles) to sing on it and so named it 'Baskervilles vs Autoparty'. | |||

] holds that God exists realistically, objectively, and independently of human thought; that God created and sustains everything; that God is omnipotent and eternal, and is personal, interested and answers prayer. It holds that God is both transcendent and immanent; thus, God is simultaneously infinite and in some way present in the affairs of the world. Catholic theology holds that God is ] and is not involuntarily subject to time. Most theists hold that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, although this belief raises questions about God's responsibility for evil and suffering in the world. Some theists ascribe to God a self-conscious or purposeful limiting of omnipotence, omniscience, or benevolence. ], by contrast, asserts that, due to the nature of time, God's omniscience does not mean he can predict the future. "Theism" is sometimes used to refer in general to any belief in a god or gods, i.e., monotheism or polytheism. | |||
* | |||
* | |||
] holds that God is wholly transcendent: God exists, but does not intervene in the world beyond what was necessary for God to create it. In this view, God is not ], and does not literally answer prayers or cause miracles to occur. Common in Deism is a belief that God has no interest in humanity and may not even be aware of humanity. | |||
* | |||
* | |||
=== Monotheism and Pantheism === | |||
* | |||
] holds that there is only one God, and/or that the one true God is worshipped in different religions under different names. It is important to note, however, that monotheists of one religion can, and often do, consider the monotheistic god of a different religion to be a false god. For instance, many Christian fundamentalists consider the God of Islam (Allah) to be a false god or demon. However, theologians and linguists argue that "Allah" is merely the Arabic word for "God," and not the literal name of a specifically Muslim God (this is more clearly shown by the fact that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews refer to God as "Allah" with no problem whatsoever). To Muslims, the Bible is a holy scripture and Jesus is a Holy Prophet, so Islam is considered a continuation of Christianity. Many Jews consider the ] of Christianity (Jesus) to be a false god and some monotheists (notably fundamentalist Christians) hold that there is one ] God, and that all gods of other religions are actually demons in disguise (as in verse 14). Eastern religious believers and ]s are more likely to assume those of other faiths worship the same God as they, just under a different name and/or form. Muslims believe that Jesus, although the Messiah and one of the holy Prophets, is not the son of God, because relating God to any partners or spouses or offspring is considered blasphemy and apostasy. | |||
], the eighth incarnation of ], one of the manifestations of the ultimate reality or God in ].]] | |||
] holds that God is the universe and the universe is God. Panentheism holds that God contains, but is not identical to, the Universe. The distinctions between the two are subtle, and some consider them unhelpful. It is also the view of the ], ], Hinduism, some divisions of Buddhism, and ], along with many varying denominations and individuals within denominations. ], Jewish mysticism, paints a pantheistic/panentheistic view of God - which has wide acceptance in ], particularly from their founder ] - but only as an addition to the Jewish view of a personal god, not in the original pantheistic sense that denies or limits persona to God. | |||
=== Speculative dilemmas === | |||
] is a form of theism which holds that God is malevolent as a consequence of the ]. Dystheistic speculation is common in theology, but there is no known church of practicing dystheists. See also ]. | |||
] holds that the universe can be explained without any reference to the supernatural, or to a supernatural being. Some non-theists avoid the concept of God, whilst accepting that it is significant to many; other non-theists understand God as a symbol of human values and aspirations. | |||

Baskervilles (The Band)
Christoph Gerozissis, Rob Keith, Stephanie Finucane and Craig Van Orsdale formed Baskervilles in New York City in 1997. The members played together for years in trashy punk and garage rock bands (one called the Baskervils started in 1993 in Tampa). Bored with loud rock and inspired by the Television Personalities, the Clientele, the Kinks, Love, the Left Banke and French Pop played by DJ Franco at the Vampyros Lesbos party in New York City, Baskervilles turned the amplifiers down to perform high energy keyboard driven pop at low volumes. The lyrics were designed to be simple narratives and open ended romantic stories, many pertaining to New York City.
From 1997 to 2002, Baskervilles performed a handful of well received shows at the Mercury Lounge in the East Village. During that time, Baskervilles recorded 2 sessions at Mitch Easter’s (Let’s Active, R.E.M.) Fidelitorium studio in North Carolina and 1 session at Dubway Studios in New York City. The group made one trip outside of New York City in the summer of 2002 to perform at a museum opening at the Migros Museum in Zurich, Switzerland featuring the artwork of Yayoi Kusama and Michel Auder.
The band took a 2 year break while Stephanie had a baby. Rob Keith and Christoph Gerozissis formed a nocturnal electro group called Autoparty and put out an album called Lumlight. The first New York Baskervilles show in two years happened at Sin-e’ on November 6th, 2003 to celebrate the release of a compilation on Secret Crush Records called Stamp Collecting For Beginners, featuring the Baskervilles song After Work. Secret Crush Records released the first Baskervilles album in spring of 2004 to great acclaim. The band followed up quickly by releasing the punchy new wave inspired Midnight EP in 2005 with a tour of the west coast of the United States.
During the second half of 2005 and early 2006, the Baskervilles were hard at work on album #3 and a video for Midnight At The Underground Club, directed by Jake Hensberry. Thanks to a great deal of enthusiasm from Sweden, the Baskervilles delayed work on album #3 to write a 4 song EP for Kitty Litter Records. Summer 2006 promises to be a great one for the Baskervilles, with lots of shows and new songs.

Baskervilles Side Project - Autoparty
During the short break Baskervilles had, members Rob Keith and Christoph Gerozissis formed a seperate band and wrote another album of ambient electropop, their band was called 'Autoparty' and they released a 10 track album titled 'Lumlight' in 2004. 'Lumlight' like 'Baskervilles' CD's also saw wide distribution, however it was mostly purchased on CBbaby at a low price of $5. 'Autoparty' was mostly responsible for track 10 'That Is The Scene' on Baskervilles debut self titled album, however they got Stephanie Finucane (a member of Baskervilles) to sing on it and so named it 'Baskervilles vs Autoparty'.
