Flashback: Sunday school 1950s, "God is in Heaven and can see everything, including what you say, do and think."

I'd like to know what your conception of God is. Does most of what you believe and understand about God come from ideas that were instilled in you? Or, did you pretty much figure things out on your own? Or did God speak to you?

Introductory points:
Is God in you?
Are you a part of God?
Is God a separate entity?
Do you believe there is an equal and opposite force to God?
Can you hear God, audibly? (I've heard people say "God spoke to me," and they meant literally.)

Rules of discussion:
No ugly debating about who is right and who is wrong.
This is meant to be a discussion for discovery and affirmation.
No proselytizing or preaching.
