I was listening to Matisyahu, at first when my sister gave it to me I thought it was just another reggae love song then I realized it really was a love song to God. What makes it so difficult for people to dislike or disbelieve in God in the first place anyway? I don't understand how that works when the whole universe is so large and big, the process of evolution itself a million coincidences that is so chaotic. Its actually inconceivable. It is conceivable for a human being to see a sphere or a circle, or an infinite number, something that has no end and even no beginning. The concept of God it seems has been throughout the ages a sort of anthropomorphic proportions where God becomes humanized. When I think of God he becomes untouchable, (I use the term He here because It seems disrespectful and Her has been so feminized it sounds ridiculous no offence girls but after reading so many treatises of radical feminists im beginning to think its more of a male vs. female kinda thing then it becomes that women should be made more superior than men when all we want is equality) . Actually in Arabic and Malay there is a fourth person term we use, Dia, Ia, it is sexless, which conforms more to the expression of greatness. Whereas the term It is connotative of something downcast. Anyway, in my head, it seems that the God I worship is more universal and not just universal it transcends the train of thought as well as the bounds of material. God does not need a byway to communicate with (in my head anyway) This God needs to be unreachable. Even by human terms, it has to be some sort of Creator that could eat up the Universe. Made up by billions of stars and galaxies. A God that could even transcend aliens (if you believe in those anyway) Something that owns everything now that's a God. He must be Master of the Universe. Master of the Dead World. Master of well...everything. In Norse traditions the struggle between Gods are always apparent, and this modern Wicca author says that we create our own Gods, the author's name was Fiona Horne (if you want to read her books). And the author of the History of God, Karen Armstrong has also expressed the same view that God seems unreachable. For me, it is more of a spark of madness, even lostness and yes powerlessness. If he doesn't exist, what a shame to exist and what a shame that we concentrate our efforts on something as existing only. It is a shame for those who die without justice in this world and it is also a shame that we have done nothing to help them. If there is no God, humans clamour to exist for the now, and those who die far away on the ends of the earth, in pain, suffering. In that case there is no reason for man to exist anymore, even for the ruses of survival. We are man after all, and man has been endowed with brains who at always is in mistake, and always will be confused as to what we want. Abortion although legal in according to rules in Islam, would be more widespread, the female power of someone's life in their hands. Then I began to think, I understand that some women do not wish to be burdened by another human being (something I think is a bit selfish because even if it isn't for an unborn foetus, would we be able to show kindness to other children who need shelter and protection?) Actually, it isn't about the mother children thing I think it is more of a human to another human kind of helping thing. What has made us so blind as to not help other people in need? So far in medicine and science and still so few in the hands of existence that we ourselves cannot conceive. Medicine and science is still at its infancy and when looked closely at its treatments and solutions it seems butcher-like and rudimentary. Since as most atheists has observed that there is no God, medicine should be able to find a reversal for ageing. I told you it was rudimentary. Death is inevitable which makes life even more precious if there is no such thing as a God. When John Lennon sang Imagine he didn't think it through, man will always find a reason to kill another human being, most wars weren't even religious to begin with. Its more about Greed. The Crusades were also about Greed. Faith is secondary to Greed. He was right about the nothing to live for part. What's horrible is that we don't have the drive to help those who are dying and in need of our help as life is short and existence stops just there. In a Reader's Digest issue a few years ago, there was research showing CAT scans of those who were praying. And it has been conceived that we can experience God as much as I am typing these words. Being heartbroken is also real, amazingly the feeling of pain isn't fake, or a trick of the brain but conceived as real pain akin to a wound on the body. Muhammad SAW once said, there is cure for every ailment and illness on this earth except old age.
