From my long lost archive (an evolution of my thoughts about God from years back):
Most time while taking my long drive commute from either home to work, home to school, or school to work, I use the valuable time to compose thoughts (most of which result in some blog post) or maybe solve some mental problems while listening to mostly smooth jazz or classy a-cappella (The Singing Penguins is my favorite) from my car stereo. Not like you care –
I have a longing that that wasn’t the end of my observation on people’s relation to God, or better to say- religion. After a careful thought and regurgitation of thoughts, I came up with yet another random thought.
I remember asking a colleague what her view on religion was, she said she is agnostics; they are not sure if the existence of God is true of false. They believe that either could be true and live their lives in accordance with no full dedication to either extreme of believe. Meaning neither the existence of God or non-existence is soluble.
In recognition of agnostics, I figured that it’s more appropriate to now center talk on agnosticism, atheism, and theism. Agnostics really don’t have much case to stand for or oppose so I wouldn’t bother thriving on them either, atheist believe that the existence of God is only an illusion created by the mind (and I will add, and societal values) but in reality, God doesn’t exist. Theists believe that God exist and His existence is a matter of faith in the mind of the believer, it’s not provable by physical means (science included).
While this might not be the clear-cut generalization of people’s beliefs, this kind of generalization is safe enough.
On the Theist God
The God of the God believer is omnipotent (can do all), omniscience (knows all), and omnipresent (everywhere). Considering that this cannot be proved, I will face the all-in-all of the God on the bases on which it stands. As common of all theist, some kind of God created the universe and all therein, we governs and watch over us, he expects us to be obedient to him, and lucky enough, if you’re a Christian, he will reward you with heaven if you do what he likes and wants you to do; otherwise, you will be severely punished.
Does it need any scientific solution to recognize this regression? If God could be so careful and intelligent to design this would and all that is therein, to have it carefully planned and wants continuous obedience of his subject, why then would he want to have it destroyed. No, someone is losing the scope of my argument. The argument is not that he might not be interested in destroying what he spent so much time on; it is on his all-in-all capability. Since he knows that all will be destroyed in the first place, then why bother creating it and making those that will live in it go through the trouble of trying to serve him considering he already knows those, who will actually come to live with him.
Why does he have to send his ONLY SON to come and die for “us” so that we can come and live with him in heaven? Oh, those this sound like an argument against Christians who believe in God? Well, nearly all religion believes in some God’s creation of this world, right?
Irrespective of anyone’s creative narrative about God designing this world, until it can be explain the creator of God, the creator of God’s creator, the creator of the creator of God’s creator, infinitum, the creation story might seem cooked up.
Like I already explained in my previous post, it’s not that the knowledge of God terribly matters to some, it just seem that the knowledge without it makes you empty – note! Not the knowledge of its existence (as that’s what we’ve been continuously brainwashed with since birth), but the knowledge of the questions of its existence. It’s necessary we start raising our consciousness to some otherwise societal soluble issues.
Some still might question me that, what about the Holy Books? Are you holding doubts in them too? Obviously enough, since the principal character of the holy books actions is under spot light and seems not to be holding ground, the claims about him will likewise hold little ground too.
It will help to note that to some existence, there might be some spirituality that can’t seemingly be explained by science NOW, but it’s not impossible, let’s just give it time.
