God's Gift To Women
In monotheistic belief systems, God is usually viewed as the supreme being, creator, and principal object of faith. In polytheistic belief systems, a god is "a spirit or being believed to have created, or for controlling some part of the universe or life, for which such a deity is often worshipped". Belief in the existence of at least one deity, which interfers with the world, is called theism. Conceptions of God vary considerably.

God is often thought of as incorporeal and independent of the material creati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
