I have always struggled with the idea that there was a conscious God before everything and anything, then he created life as we know it today!
This creates a big question for me; " A needy God?"
Some words can only be interpreted and understood through their relationship with other words and meanings. For example the word King can only be completely understood through the function of a king, which is to rule over people.
For sound to exist in its complete form there has to be some listening ears, so that the sound can be heard, acknowledged and may be appreciated. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
A lonely God roaming the universe with extreme powers and abilities and no one around to appreciate the might of this lonely force! This must have been tough!
The word God can only be understood through worshipers. Other beings who can actually witness this force and acknowledge its existence.
Could God have created us for this very purpose? To be worshiped, acknowledged and loved?
This notion creates a predicament that God is just as needy as us, therefore his divinity is nothing but a fairy tale. He is just one of us!
On the other hand you hear religious people everyday say that we should be thankful to God for he has given us life. Let's analyse this, shall we!
God creates us out of nothingness to experience life and be put to the test. The vast majority according to the Abrahamic faiths will end up in a eternal torture of hellfire!!
Based on this scenario how can a merciful and an all-wise God creates beings out of nothingness just to torture them for eternity??? I am sure they would choose to go back to the state of nothingness they originated from!
It seems to me that our dear lord is nothing but an old fashioned sadist that takes pleasure in inflecting pain on others for no reason other than they have chosen not to believe in him???
The big ego has been dented and we should suffer for that, even if we did not ask to be brought to existence.
Before we even think which is the one true religion, let's first establish the reason for creation and what kind of God is worthy of our trust and love.
I know this one is a phony!

Excellent article All Brains - I agree wholeheartedly.
Whenever I was told that One day God created everything out of nothing and then made Adam etc... I always though, 'Yeah, OK, but what happened before that - where did God come from' it was like some of the story was missing.
I always hoped that someone would tell me the bit BEFORE he created everything from nothing - it just doesn't make sense othjerwise.
Keep up the good work AB,
Your friend,
Abu Ali :)

Looking forward to more posting from your pen.
