Aging Capriciously

Is there a God?  Of course there is.  I am God. 

I am everything.  I am everywhere.  I am eternity.  I am chaos and I am order.  I am love and I am hate.  I am the beginning and I am the end.  I am all things to everyone.  But I am not the God of the Jews.  I am not the God of the Christians.  I am not the God of the Muslims.  I am not the God of the pagans or of the Atheists, or of the Buddhists, or of the Hindus or of the Agnostics.  I am no one’s God.  No one knows who I am.  I am in the mind of everyone but each creates me in their own image.  The Gods that man knows bear no resemblance to me.  

“While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.”  — Maya Angelou

I am not the God of the Jews.  The Jews think they are the chosen people.  Who chose them?  Not I! Why should I choose one people over another?  I did not ask Abraham to sacrifice his only son.  What need I for a sacrifice?  If I wanted a sacrifice, I could sacrifice the entire human race. What need I for pigs or idols?  I did not talk to Moses.  Moses was talking to himself.  I do not command nor do I care.  I am neither a vengeful God nor a kind God.  Those are human gods.  I surpass all concepts or ideology that humans create.  What is evil to humans may be good to me. What is love to humans may be evil to me.  I am all concepts.  I am the infinity of concepts.  

“God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be.  Follow always that great law.  Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.”  — Marcus Garvey  

I am not the God of the Christians.  Why would I have only one son?  If I want a son, I could have a million sons.  Why would I create humans in my image?  I have no image.  I am everything.  I have created the sky and the sea in my image. I have created the trees and the deserts in my image. I have created all living things in my image. Death and life are my image.  I need no one to worship me nor do I care if the entire human race worships me.  Who gave Christians any special privileges with me?  What do I care about Christians?  You pray to your saints who are hypocrites. You dare to kill in my name!  Kill in your own name and don’t insult me with your wars and murders!

“When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, “Why God? Why me?” and the thundering voice of God answered, There’s just something about you that pisses me off.”  — Stephen King  

I am not the God of the Muslims.  I did not speak to Mohammed.  I do not tell anyone to wage holy wars in my name.  I do not care if you worship one God or many Gods.  One or many is all the same to me.  I have no prophets.  No one speaks for me or writes for me.  You pursue your petty grievances and you kill in the name of Allah.  Who is Allah?  I know him not.  I have no name.  Your Jihads and Holy Wars are only holy to you.  I care not for any Holiness.  I care not more for Muslims than I do for Christians or Jews or Atheists.  Holiness is an excuse you use to cover your greed and petty desires.

“God has no religion.” — Mahatma Gandhi  

I am not the God of the Atheists or the God of the Agnostics.  I am not science nor am I comprehensible to man.  I am the unknown and the unknowable.  No scientists or seers will ever be able to understand what I am.  I am continually changing and yet I remain the same.  I am subject to no laws.  I make all laws and I break all laws.  Whatever is will forever change and whatever is not will forever remain the same.  I am all planets and all universes.  I am the black holes and the exploding nebulae.  I am the sun and the moon.  I am neither expanding nor contracting.  I am the everything in the universe and the nothing between the stars

“I sought to hear the voice of God and climbed the topmost steeple, but God declared: “Go down again – I dwell among the people.”  — John Henry Newman  

Who am I?  I did not create man in my image.  Man created me in his image.  Do not worship me. I care not for your worship.  Do not do good deeds in my name. I care not for your good deeds.  Do not call upon me for help and guidance.  I guide not and I help not.  I do not destroy and I do not create.   I do not love and I do not hate.  I exist and my existence has no meaning to me.  The meaning you give me is your own meaning.  Go beyond meaning and you will understand me.  Go beyond love and hate and you will understand me.  Go beyond fear and courage and you will understand me.  Go beyond living and dying and you will understand me.

“I’ve always believed in a higher power. You can call it God, you can call it Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Allah, I don’t care. I really believe we are all a part of God.” — Olivia Hussey

Time for Questions:

Does God Exist?  Who is God?  Do you really need a god?  Why?  What if God did not exist?

Life is just beginning.

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski
