Why Do I have to Believe in a God that isn’t even real?

I….always have something to say about religion.

Haha good way to start off a blog post right? Well it wouldn’t be a blog by Dzu Nguyen if every now and again there wasn’t a blog about God, the perception of God, the ideal of God, and the farce that is God.

I was sitting in church yesterday (after neglecting it for 4 weeks pretty much) and thought about the congregation and how weak and flawed it is.

I mean, not just the congregation but also the entire system of Religion and the Church, especially Christianity.

Humanity has always glorified whatever is in the grandiose sense. Even if we must fabricate it, we always create something grandiose to glorify in…yet in reality we use this facade as a cover to truly glorify ourselves.

Let me make a bold statement and see if you agree:

Man is God.

That’s right. In the entire philosophical and psychological sense, Man is God.

I’m sure you all know this already but maybe have never thought about it or what not, but there is so much evidence that Man is God.

Who wrote the bible? Man. We claim that it is the word of God, but if it were the word of God, there’d be more evidence that it was from the mouth of God himself. Instead, we are given the empty, half assed  reassurances that we must have faith and believe that what they tell us is really true, that the Bible is the word of God. Sorry guys, not good enough for me.

Who even created the ideal of God? Man of course! I mean there is no argument there! Given in the Bible, all these miracles happened WITH or WITHOUT Jesus Christ. It is true that Jesus was the vessel of God’s word, but even without Jesus, there were miracles (Noah’s flood, etc). So, where are the miracles today? I hardly see God reasoning that “Oh, man doesn’t need God anymore.” up in the high heavens there. If a God were to reign supreme among his creations, he must continually make his presence known for all the non-believers out there (ala me.) Besides, we are doing things that are for God’s doing only, thus elevating our positions from man to God in a rapid and rather constructive way. So if God were to be really there, I think that even he would see that as a threat and smite all of our technology and advancement.

So, where is this smiting?

However advance we humans are, we always have that weakness of disbelief within what is provided. We refuse to search for the answers to the unanswered and instead blame it upon a God that is non existent. We are weak willed, refusing to believe in our own choices, putting it blindly into the hands of something that doesn’t exist, a fabrication of our minds.

I think that as smart as we are, we are incredibly stupid as well. Jesus and Muhammad were not of divine origin, instead they were just like you and me. Instead, they were much smarter than we were then and smarter than we are now. They were philosophers of their given beliefs, not mouth pieces for a God or an Allah that doesn’t exist. Where I place Jesus is not the Son of God. He is a philosopher on the lines of Socrates, which does not mean I do not respect him. I love Jesus as much as I love Socrates. Muhammad I think I would have to say the same.

You see, religion is a device to exploit the people. I mean, when you have over half the world following you, who would not want to exploit that to reach whatever means we want? I mean, all the pope has to do is speak some holy words and he’s making more money than people who honestly work for their living. The irony is that Christianity and Islam are religions, but they are stricken with lies and false words.

My philosophy professor went into religion for a day or two and he explained that the pure origins of religion were to preach love and tolerance to people. Look what it has been bastardized into today. Alms collecting, false words, rules of how to live, hierarchies that leave the common believer far below those who are in actuality suppose to be serving us. In Islam, we have people dying in the name of Allah when in reality they are using that as a facade for their own weak human beliefs. Its ridiculous and I’m sorry that no one can see through that filth of indoctrination fabricated by the blind greedy desires of man to see what pure religion is: attaining an ideal state of purity with your fellow man, loving and coexisting with them as well as the rest of the world. Too bad we all can’t see that.
