Use the Force, Moses...

Is G!d a person — a being with a personality — or an impersonal force? Looking at Jewish scripture, where G!d is given quite a personality, one would assume Jews would answer that indeed G!d is a being with whom one can have a relationship. Not so according to a Pew Forum poll from June of this year. As you can see from the graph above, 50% of Jews defined the Divine as an impersonal force. The total however only adds up to 75%, leaving me wonder what the other Jews answered. Or what the other choices were.

The interesting thing to note is that just below the Jews are the Buddhists, 40% of those who answered said impersonal force. Less than the Jews. And 20% said a personality -- also less than the Jews, and on this answer, that was to be expected. That any Buddhists gave the "person" answer at all really disqualifies them as classic Buddhists. In fact, even the impersonal force answer isn't quite right, because it presupposes a being of some sort, which classical Buddhism does not accept. But in terms of available answers one can see from this graph, it comes closest.

Where do you fall on this graph? And what other answers do you think the poll ought to have reflected?
