"God"

"God"

Who is God?

This topic is by far the most complicated of any.
I say now that i truly mean no offense to anybody reading this.

I believe that religion was created by humans, for humans, to cope with, and to understand the world in general.

Their is no adamant proof that any God, anywhere, in any religion exists.

That being said, there is no adamant proof of a singularity, a big bang, or a reoccuring universe, and there still remains the greatest question of all. Where did we come from, What was before.

You cannot create something from nothing, much in the same way that you cannot make something into nothing.

There are arguments both ways, however, God confuses me the most.

Imagine if you were God. And you made humans in the likeness of yourself. Would you not get fed up with them praying every single second of every single day? Would you not simply hate the lords prayer? If i were God, and I created people, I would simply love for them to just leave me alone!

The one thing that i would find most humorous of all, if i were God, was that when i created a storm on the seas, or sent an earthquake trembling through a city simply because i wanted to, I would get billions of prayer requests from unrelated people across the world to help their souls. A bit counter intuitive.

For this arguments sake, lets say that God's abilities far exceed any humans. Lets say that he is simply a being beyond our comprehension.

Then the problem arises, which God/gods are real?

You cannot say that they are all the same, one entity interpreted different ways, because all religion counteracts all other religion. They say completely different things.

Would you blame this on the fallacies of humans for not interpreting God in the right way? Who could you blame. You cannot blame the Muslims, for what if you had been born into a Muslim family?

So then, which God/gods are real?

One singular religion cannot be correct. For that to be true, it would also mean that a vast majority of the worlds population was wholly incorrect about God from the get go. It just seems so improbable.

Let us turn to Christianity. It has been around about 2000 years. It also believes that the Greek and Roman Gods of old are myth.

But they were steadily believed in for a good 2000 years as well.

I know little about the nature of God/gods, but i do know that they do not simply just die and go away.

Where are those twelve great Olympians now. Were they defeated by Christianity's God in some epic war in the heavens?

That goes against God's teachings. "Love thine Neighbor"

I ask again. Who is right?

Who can be right?

It just doesn't make sense. It doesn't add up.

This is why i am Agnostic. I am undecided.

I do not know what to believe when so many are apparently "wrong".

Religion is not a blessing. It is not greatness. It is just a story. An idea. An idea so well supported that it seems to be reality.

Over the history of the world, there has been more bloodshed for religion, for one God is right over one God is wrong, than anything else.

If there is a God, did He mean for the crusades to happen? or the inquisition? or even WWI?

If He is all powerful, He could have stopped it.

But He did not. Can you say He loves you?

Can you say He loves all those people He let die?

Who is God. or rather. What is God?

He is certainly not the being you preach him to be.

I believe that makes your religion, "wrong"

lets fight over it.
