I don't participate in organized or traditional religion. Early on I realized much of it is based on guilt and fear. I found the idea of an infinite God punishing me for behavior done in a timespan less than an instant for him unacceptable.
Still, I don't question the exsistence of God. The evidence is all around us, In the faces of everyone and every thing. If we take the time to really listen, really see. Good luck maintaining that kind of focus though. A better question is did he create us or we him?
I Find comfort in both theories.
If God created us and everything else he'd have little need for our praise even if we eliminate the idea of angels. He is complete unto himself.worship in any form would be redundant. Removing worship from the table leaves curiosity on God's part or a random act.
Possibly he created man just to see what mankind would achieve. Man has infinite potential and seeing how it plays out would be worth observing for a few eons. If that is the case mankind's selfish modification of his natural acts for his own selfish gain has hindered his purer goal, but adds to the adventure.
The idea we created him is a little less solid. My theory is the combined human intellect all focused on the goal of not only reaching, but pleasing God would cause such a being to be created if said being did not exsist. Possibly not in my life time but eventually. The sheer power of prayer would cause it to form somewhere in the universe. this theory does not take into account actual evil in the form of demons or as I prefer to think, extra dimensional beings bent on causing humans harm. I know, a little out there. Just a hint of the fractured process that is my mind.
And so ends task#3. I fear they only get weirder folks.
