linus torvalds is god?
actually, he’s got it wrong, Linus Torvalds isn’t God.
but I suppose he could pass for a minor deity.
Wikipedia has a nice little article on the Bahá’í concept of God, and here’s a nice little summary.
Bahá’ís believe in a single, imperishable God, the creator of all things, including all the creatures and forces in the universe. The existence of God is thought to be eternal, without a beginning or end, and is described as “a personal God, unknowable, inaccessible, the source of all Revelation, eternal, omniscient, omnipresent and almighty.” Though inaccessible directly, God is nevertheless seen as conscious of his creation, with a will and purpose. Bahá’ís believe that God expresses this will in many ways, including through a series of divine messengers referred to as Manifestations of God or sometimes divine educators. In expressing God’s intent, these manifestations are seen to establish religion in the world.
Bahá’í teachings state that God is too great for humans to fully comprehend, or to create a complete and accurate image. In the Bahá’í religion God is often referred to by titles (e.g. the All-Powerful, or the All-Loving), and there is a substantial emphasis on monotheism, and an interpretation of such doctrines as the Trinity in a symbolic rather than literal sense.
