We imagine that god is a giant entity who is running the show of the universe with his great power.
In reality God is on the same level as us tiny humans.
He is in fact as he is in the puniest of insects.
He exists as is in all living things and is as powerful (or powerless) wise (or stupid) good (or evil) as they are.
Lets see how this mundaneness of God can be reconciled with the all powerful being of mythology.
The characteristics of God are: Omniscient Omnipresent and Omnipotent
This all fits if you consider God as a distributed system.
Your consciousness is part of God, which although being part is also same as the whole.
This means that. the characteristics of consciousness are such that if you add two consciousnesses you still get one consciousness.
Although consciousness is apparently divided among various organisms when all of them are destroyed it will remain as the one it is.
Consciousness is not a material thing.
In the material world 1 + 1 = 2.
In the immaterial world of consciousness it is rather 0 + 0 = 0 (or infinity + infinity = infinity)
And maybe this is why in Buddhism consciousness is refereed to as shunyata (or zeroness).
While in Hinduism it is referred to as Brahman (or the infinite)
Thus god having divided itself into small consciousnesses animates each living being.and is attached to their joys and sorrows.
Seen as a distributed system now the characteristics of God make sense.
Omnipresence: In the absence of consciousness nothing can be.
Omniscient: In the absence of consciousness nothing can happen.
Omnipotent: Without the power of consciousness nothing can happen.
Although seen as three different powers in reality all three powers in fact boil down to one thing.
There is just one living being who has split up into the multitude. Without this being nothing is nothing arises and quite simply there is nothing.
All that happens whether seen as good or evil is as he wills it.
