The God I know

Let us start throwing up some darts rather than just stare at the bull’s eye to hit the dart board.

‘God’ for me is something that can only be perceived through words. God is only a word.

‘God’ is used as a term to describe what is impossible of us, but we are seeking to do, to be, or to have; but we always acknowledge it as impossible. God is the term used when we describe the opposite of what we think is bad about us. God is the perfect “I”.

‘God’ is a word that people blame or praise when we experience what is unexpected or what we know is impossible; but it happened through our own actions (simply!), but we don’t acknowledge it instead.

God exists. As long as it is the ‘God’ I have just described – the God that only runs through man’s mind. ‘God’ is never powerful, but we make him be. Man is powerful. It is man that created ‘God’ not God that created man, for it is the man who thought of it in the first place. Furthermore, God cannot be called ‘God’ unless the people describe God’s creations (ourselves included) as something ‘God’ created, or something ‘God’ owns.

‘God’ in people’s minds translates functionalism and positivism that the people endure the sickness, the sorrow, the helpless and dig onto one side that we (people) think is positive. With the existence of God, people try to decode the disasters, social inequalities, falsified and exploitative system of living to a blessing, that these ‘blessings’ have functions in the way of life, instead of bringing out negativity, questions, and refusal.

If people start to recognize their efforts that made a relative, influential, and significant change, as their own, will the word ‘God’ still exist?

If ‘God’ is a being, someone very powerful and has the ability to control us all, how do we translate him into reality? Into a tangible truth?

The ‘God’ that I know is one that can endure appalling possibilities, the God that weakens man’s critical thinking but empowers itself in the human mind. It does not encourage social actions, but gives a man a sense of relief.

‘God’ is a word that occupies the mind, having the body paralyzed of the ‘Great Refusal’ in response to tragic social events. ‘God’ is a term used to describe the incident when people lose the ‘human’ in them.
