Whats the difference? Which one is which?
Gods are subjective and even the God of the Bible is not everyones God. The atheists don't have a god at all.

I dont think an almighty God exists. If one does then we too can become almighty.

I believe that we all are gods, in a very funny way!
EDIT- Chief, I thought you were a theist?

I am a theist. When I think of an "almighty" God, I just think of a being that is forever superior over all living things. That just doesnt jive right with me. I think we are equal to whatever god/gods that created this universe. I think we are all gods too, gods learning how to crawl.

There is only one Almighty God, The Father of us all and the Father of Jesus Christ Yahweh, or Adonai. All other gods are a fabrication of man.

Well, at least it wasn't scripture this time. Tell me, since most religions state that their holy books are written by their gods, which are also the one true god, what was your criteria for choosing Yahweh (without using the bible, of course)? The bible does acknowledge other gods exist, like Baal. If there weren't any other gods, we wouldn't need that commandment, thou shalt have no other gods before me...

I think there is a big difference actually.
If one were to say, "The Almighty God", it implies that there is only one "almighty God" for starters.
It would also imply the status of said God as "almighty", but keep in mind it might very well be relative and in no way implies that there isn't a God that is more moral, smarter, bigger or more final; the list goes on.
Regarding the person; if a person was to speak the words "The Almighty God" in good faith, there is much we can tell about him. I'm tired and been drinking, so I don't really want to get into all that right now as it is mostly speculative.
When someone utters the phrase "a god". That implies much the opposite from "The Almighty God". It subtly suggests that there may indeed be more than one. It is non-specific; meaning it could, depending on how it is used, be switched with "any god" and it wouldn't change the meaning of a sentence.
Almighty God has Christian lineage while "a god" is ambiguous and can be used by anyone at any period in time anywhere in the universe. Really, must of the difference lies in how the phrases are used.
Almighty = all powerful, having unlimited power, sovereign.

What do you mean?
Edit: Look, a few outspoken personas as of late have been accusing me of incredulity and of just being a bastard in general and while I might concur with the bastard thing, I cannot agree with the other. Often people, with priorities differing from my own, are repulsed and agitated by the incessant outward manifestation of my belief in fallibilism; this repulsion is so foreign to me I can't even manage to empathize with their position no matter how hard I try. I am insufferable most of the time; I am aware of this, but there is no reason one should mistake my desire to understand, to seek justification for (or against) my beliefs and to vet my own assumptions as being snide. Sharing a opposing viewpoint in a respectful manner should not be taken as belligerence. It's just my nature and I forget that not everyone thinks or looks at things the same way as I do. It's truly arises of good natured intentions.
Just as an illustration, here is what goes on in my mind:
John says, "The moon is blue."
Niet says, "While I respect your right to choose to believe whatever you want, I respectfully disagree with your belief regarding the moon. I perceive you to be an intelligent individual and assume you share with me my desire for truth over false belief, so I will voice my disagreement and offer you, what I believe, constitutes evidence to the contrary. I welcome you to rebut and to offer counter evidence and challenge my assumption that the moon is NOT blue as I appreciate my beliefs being challenged because I am consistently skeptical of my own beliefs. I also, trust you have reason to believe what you do and I wish you would share those reasons with me as I might be compelled to change my mind."
John says, "F* you, you're and A hole! You think you know everything and just want to fight and piss everyone off and you do it to be mean!"
Edit2: OOHHHH, Z as in Zaehet... for some reason I thought your comment was to me... my bad... sorry.

The almighty is the innate intelligence, imbedded within every inch of the infinite multiverse.
A god can be any being, just depends on how you classify it.
In my humble opinion.

I swear to God Im an atheist. Thank God that God doesnt exist, I couldnt live in a world where all of my actions are judged but at the same time determined by a supreme being. Jesus was just some frickin' dude....Im not wasting my time worshiping a liar who claimed to be able to perform miracles
Why do you feel that there being a god would require judging all your actions. Many concepts of god don't have a god which watches over someone and judges everything they do. Perhaps god made a universe which didn't require his intervention or endless meddling. Perhaps there is a god that just sits back and admires and loves his creation as it is without judging it or fucking around with it and poking it with a galactic stick.
I would liken a god to a human observed by and ant. Something giant and mysterious that crushes things. The almighty however is more like the god you see while smoking dmt. Vast, eternal and infinite.

God is a mystery, you will never be able to figure Him out. But that's assuming that there is a god. I don't believe there is an omnipotent god. There might be a God who is omnipresent and/or omniscient but not all powerful because we all would have to do as He commanded. Every animal would have to do as He commanded, every plant would have to do as He commanded, and every inanimate objected would have to do as He commanded if He was omnipotent. If He was omnipotent than we all would be little pawns in His controlling game.
I don't know much about God. I don't know for a fact that God exists but I believe that He does. I have never seen God but I have seen some of His creation. I have never heard God speak but He gave Me ears to listen. Something or someone created everything from nothing so I assume its God but I cant speak for God, I can only speak for Myself.
I have no idea so this is just My 2 cents!
