word of the lord
God is the Supreme being and creator of all things according in the World of Darkness.
Generally, mortals identify God with the monotheistic deity presented by some religions. According to the Abrahamic religions, this god is named as Yahweh, Elohim, Jehovah or Allah. In China, he is known as the August Personage of Jade. That being said, he has many identities and purposes that span across the world.
God was the first being to exist. According to this belief God had no creator and was never made; he has always existed and was present at the beginning of the universe, known to the mages as the Prime. According to the tradition, God created the world and the universe by His divine will and power. God's motivation for creating the world is not explicitly explained in scripture, but it is believed to have been an act of divine love and kindness. He is seen as the supreme and transcendent being, who chose to create the universe and everything in it as an act of love and providence.

The word of the lord says Caine was cursed by God for murdering his brother Abel. Cainite mythology holds up to a high degree, with the story of Caine and Abel recognized by vampires that predate Judaism, and in certain cases recorded by Vampires at some time before Judaism. Special mention of this is made in Demon: The Fallen, where the stories of a certain desert tribe turn out to be unusually accurate - if, from Lucifer's point of view, biased. Obviously, Demons believe in God as much as they believe in themselves. Demons knew God, but their interpretation of God is tied up in a complex love/hate relationship represented by their Torment. Whatever Demons knew of God, however, they don't know what God is doing right now.
The Kuei-jin believe they know the answer to that one, however. According to the Wan Kuei, the "August Personage of Jade" turned his face on them when he cursed them, much like he did to the Yama Kings when he cursed them. The Wan Kuei believe in a god, they just don't necessarily believe that he's a forgiving god. They know this because they returned from their afterlife in the Yomi Hells.
