The perseption that people had of god in the middle ages was the one dictated by the chatolic church.
God was considered like the most powerful being that existed on earth because the power of the church, was so big that influenced the entire populace. Everybody obey the mandates of the church because everybody was convinced that they were going to be severaly punished for the " almighty" if they don't do it. some people tried to rebel against this way of thinking, but inmediately they were repressed, acussed of heresy and sentenced to death. They were burned, mutilated, torturated.
The science of the time, the medicine and the education were dominated, also for this obscurantist way of thinking that promulgated god as the unique truth, then the diseases were not diseases, they were punishments of god, the natural phenomenas also were punishments of god and the solution to all this misfortunes were prays, suplications, and economic offering that were recibed by his representative on earth, the church.
We infer from this that in the Middle Ages everything revolved around the idea of god and his power of make and unmake, the fear that this produced in people makes that during the middle ages people didn't tried to look for new ways of thinking, to discover new things, so people only believed and didn't think.
