Ye Gods

I have discovered a wondrous site. Oh yes. Well, discovered it ages ago yet only NOW do I have the time to completely devour it. Every single itty bitty bit. Yum.

It's hee-lah-ree-us. *falls off chair laughing* I will post the article up from it in a bit. For now, I shall blog about what I was distracted from earlier.

And yes, I've had nothing much to do today.

Religion.

*Disclaimer : I don't have proof, these are just theories. I'm not as well-read as some are, I just browse through pages on the net, the Gita, random stuff here and there and well, these are just my speculations and theories on all the thoughts collected.


It's funny how simple logic defies us at times. If anyone were to ask me what I was 2 years ago, I'd say I wasn't sure. And I wasn't. I didn't know what the hell I was. I sure as hell didn't believe in heaven or hell -no pun intended- and as for God being all benevolent and kind, it just made no sense at all. Nor did I believe in the Devil. Then again, a friend pointed out something to me just yesterday. I can't remember who it was, Screw? Wonderboy? Either one of them satanic beings. Anyhoo, it makes perfect sense. If you were to write about your enemy, would you deem him bad or good?


So - hypothetically speaking - God writes about the Devil being bad. But how do we REALLY know?


How do we really know ANYTHING?


Like, even in the belief of the very CONCEPT of a creator. It's redundant there itself. If you BELIEVE some higher being created you, every bit of you, and everything there is - and since you personify him so much, one can only assume when learning about Him at first, that he's a being - then who created THIS being? He can't have just popped out of nowhere now, no?


And it's like that game of Broken Telephone. MEN wrote the Bible, the Gita, the Mahabarata. Why is EVERYTHING so personified? Because MEN wrote it. Men who want to present what they WANT to see. Have masses of people actually seen this, God? And why is he not present? No one's actually seen God or the Devil. Chances are, your will in having Faith is a lot more stronger than you actually truly believing deep down inside, that He exists. This, omnipotent Being.


Here's a situation we shall look at.


Let's just say, someone you know, very well, came up to you and said "I spoke to God today. And guess what, He spoke back,"
How would YOU react? What would you think of this person? Instantly?
Come on people, first reactions. Be honest. Yes, even you holy biblical God-fearing Christians.


#~C-r-a-z-y. Woohoo!~#


If someone came to you and said they were hearing voices and that God was speaking to them, I'd call the psych ward pronto. Schizophrenia. It's a condition. People here things, and BELIEVE people are talking to them. Hallucinations and what not.

Think about it, who the hell was with Prophet Mohd when he got his messages from Allah?


Now, I don't mean to condemn religions from all around the world. You're entitled to believe what you want. But this is a pretty interesting theory. What IF, just what IF, these prophets were schizophrenic? The situation back then in these civilisations were manic. People were burying babies alive in Arab, drinking, random sex, (pretty much like today minus the burial of babies alive) and well, apparently life was chaotic back then. Wouldn't it just be so incredibly fitting for a Messiah to come sailing through? I shall save you all now! Allah has instructed me!


And there are PLENTY of these prophets. And their popularity grows from how WELL they spread the word of God or His campaign. It becomes a freaking popularity contest.


Oh well, kudos to Mohd. If he ever was schizo, he was pretty darn intelligent. "Read and you will see the light!"


Rock on dude. Just, go easy on the bombs yea? Jihad's getting real old. *


I have NOTHING against religions. Religions set standards. They provide us with ways and guides to lead our lives. Obviously, for people who need them. To me, if you're a good person, regardless of religion, you're obviously doin' something right. What defines good and bad?


Well, you do.


There has to be a definite standard, naturally. But what I can't stand is the lack of free-thinking. Or the lack of not wanting to question. To seek more answers. You don't just accept things. You THINK. I find people who don't think intellectually frustrating. This "God" gave you a brain, dumbass, use it.


So come on, throw the question at me.


Ash, you said you believe in God. But this contradicts it all!


Gee, it does, doesn't it?
Let me redefine what I think God is.
A big blue ball of energy.
Why blue?
I like blue.


Yeah, that's what I think God is. Energy. Not a Him/Her. 'God' is just a word. And I define God to be as Energy. Chi. The thing that makes your light bulbs go on ala "Let there be light!"


So that makes me a Hindu. Old skool style.

What point am I trying to make here? Well, that I'm a Hindu for one, and not one who holds all that deity stuff to heart - it's just fun to know, like a bedtime story, for the Gods are personified there as well - and to get to those belief-imposing people out there that you should just back off and lead your own faiths without smothering other people with it in the face because we all have the right to believe what we want. Yes, even if it means eternal death in Hell with the Devil. God can't be that dim to send the world's best, moralistic person to Hell just cause he's not Christian enough to come to Heaven.


Alright, I'm done being blasphemic for the day. Shoot your arrows at me via comments.
