Where is god? Who is god?

Where is god? Who is god? Has anybody seen him/her.. Isnt this the major question which has no answer before the human race. Where is god? Speaking spiritually he is in all of us, he is in every thing around us.
I have heard many arguments about temple, some have deep spiritual sense and some out of sheer ignorance. One such argument is this and this one was definitely interesting, If you look at the structure of a hindu temple, the main deity is situated in the inner quarters. Compare the temple to a human physical form, god resides in the inner quarters of a human. What is the name of the god , it’s the human soul. The human soul is believed to be at its purest form. Its totally untouched by anything. It is totally free. I have heard death feels like a passing phase and its for the first few minutes of leaving the human form, soul struggles to come to terms with the reality that it never belonged to the human physical form it took. It was just a passing phase of its karmic cycle.
I am not an atheist nor a theist because I haven’t found an argument that would completely make me believe that there is no god or also I haven’t found the vice versa. This is an interesting question. I am sure its in many minds. Any thoughts ??

God is just a belief. In each phase of life human uses god for different reasons. When i was child my mom used to scare me"if you do anything wrong god will punish you".. and now my mom says "pray to god...whatever you pray that will happen" ..so its just a belief. There is one film, in tamil,Anbe sivam(love is god). The theme of the film is god lies within every man. Humans who help the needy are considered as god. I think this is what is explained in your post.we can take this in other context,god takes the form of human inorder to help others...

god is a state of mind ... just like happiness or sadness ... asking questions like Where is God or Who is God makes no sense ... God is much more than faith or belief ... u may not be religious, but u may still forge a link with Him ...

How do you think asking a question doesnt make sense? Human beings evolve by asking questions.i think this question is also one among such questions.

i never said i am not religious.. In my post i said i am neither an atheist nor a theist.. i do believe in god not to the extend of being so much dependent on him for everything.. As i said i wont say there is a supreme power which does everything for us..

Nice agnostic view .. Einstein was in search of this answer too, but if someone know who He is then wont he be the God himself ?
But I personally feel Einstein was the closest to answer that question - he once said " God doesnot play dice " :)
