Oh, God.

God. Who is God? Or what is God? The eternal question, is there even something such as a God? God, supposedly the Almighty, is an age-old belief, a blind faith, in our hearts. Don’t ask me where this belief came from. I wouldn’t know – nobody knows for sure, for that matter – where it came from. Some people believe God exists. Well, there’s the believers, the agnostics (confused), and the atheists (non-believers). Actually, most of us are hypocrites *WINK, WINK* We all say “I don’t believe in God”, and then visit mandirs and gurudwaras, and pray, hoping that some good will come of it.

God – whatever, or whoever it is – has all the power, supposedly. Everything we are, everything around us is His giving, He DEFINES us. He’s creative, seems to so enjoy complicating people’s lives, and makes sure there’s all the masala to go with anything you do. Let’s be fair, though, there is the fair share of niceties too.

Apparently, all the manuscripts – our rulebooks – say we need to “prove ourselves unto Him”. Hence, each one’s quota of drama. And if he has so much power, then why doesn’t he just “come forth” and end the whole confusion of his existence? If he has so much power, if the world really is His playing-field, then where is the problem? Why all the suffering, all the pain, the negativity, weakness, injustice, angst? Shouldn’t the obvious choice be to keep things simple? To make things easy, right, fair for all? If he is the Almighty, mustn’t He have known, planned, what was going to come? I’m not taking a stand against Him or for Him. I’m not saying to believe in His being, that isn’t my prerogative. And I’m not saying He, or She, or It, doesn’t exist. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Everyone has a right to believe in what they want. I’m just thinking out loud. I’m wondering. I’m ASKING, not QUESTIONING. Searching for answers. I want to know.

The definition of God:

“God is a deity in theistic and deistic religions and other belief systems, representing either the sole deity in monotheism, or a principal deity in polytheism.”

[P.s.: "Theism is the broadest sense is the belief in at least one deity."

          "Deism is a religious and philosophical belief that a supreme being created the universe, and that this can be determined using reason and observation of the natural world alone, without the need for either faith or organized religion."]

Thank you, Wikipedia. ;)

Belief, belief, belief. NOWHERE does it say that GOD exists. Then where did all this belief come from. Are we too afraid to “believe”, that WE make our lives? That WE influence them? That WE are the reasons behind everything? Is this belief in an Almighty, an escapist’s scheme? To say,” Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be”? Is it just an IDEOLOGY, stemming from a moment of cowardice, when man couldn’t blame himself? Or maybe when he finally couldn’t embrace the fact that he was everything - the reason, the means, and the end?

Do you remember the time when you really wanted something? And then you prayed to God, and actually got it? And then said “Thank you God, Thank you God.”?  Maybe your parents heard you through the door. Think about it.
