4. I'm pretty sure
he/she is. Peeking out from the souls of the kindest, the wisest, the most humane every day. I like to think of god as a sort of "do-it-yourself" kit.

12. most definitely.
I first heard the Joan Osborne song when Cheryl and I were living in the "alternative" neighborhood of Atlanta, so I associate the idea with a number of definite kinds of people, from the homeless guy I nearly emptied a recycling bin on top of to very sexual goth girls. Others will define god in their own way...which underscores what I think is the idea behind the whole thing. :)

30. Judaism teaches us
to treat each person we meet as we would G*d -- that is to say, with the same love and respect we show G*d in synagogue.

39. Oh, btw it should be phrased "what if god were one of us"
Fucking people and their inability to apply the subjunctive mood.
