The question how do I know whether god exists or not is still debatable from centauries. This is a
metaphysical question which not only effect the intellect of someone but also has an important role
Definition of God. Could it really be possible to describe God under some definition? In my view
God cannot be concise in any kind of definition. Definition means to bound something under some
limitations. There are no limitation for God in any religion. God is supreme power. There lies the
concept of god in all religions but the way of perception is different. And we put them in different
categories on the basis of their believes. Some who perceive god as omnipotent, omnipresent are
called theist. They consider universe is build up by god and is successfully running by god. Some
who perceive god with doubt are agnostics. While those who says there is god but he is not directly
in contact with this world are called deists. And those who says god is everywhere are called
pangists. Those who believe in multiple deities including gods and goddesses are set in group of
polytheism. Henotheists are those who believe in oneness of god without denying other possible
deities. On the basis of their perception about God many religions came into being. Everyone has
its own picture of god and the picture in your mind and in my mind cannot be exactly alike.
The philosophes who debated this question HOW DO I KNOW ABOUT GOD are HAGEL,
