OH MY GOD!!!!

Yes. i am writting about God today.
GOD. the biggest concept that ever was devised by man-if man ever came up with the concept in the first place. G.O.D.those three letters are enough to drive people exstatic or drive them mad.those three words ahve brought endless joy to humanity, and also untold misery to many.those three letters have been a source of inspiration to countless lives, but they have been equally to blame for disillusionment and ignorance that still encumbers the lives of many.some of the most charitable deeds have been done in the name of god, but also some of the darkest periods in the history of man have been brought about under his banner.
but what or who is God?
God to me is the infinite consciousness from which all other consciousness arises. God is life,from which all life springs from, and eventually goes back into-eventually.God is omnipotent,omniscient and omnipresent.lets look at that omnipresent part for a minute.all present,that is what God is, everywhere and at all times. the apostle Paul in his sermon to the citizens of Athens said about God "...in him we live,move and have our being..." (acts 17:24-25)
if he is everywhere,does everywhere include inside you,now as you read this?does it include inside your thoughts, your emotions and your spirit where you turn to when you seek comfort or strength?why then can we not "sense" him?why cant we "interact" with him?simply because we are not tune in to him.take for example the analogy of a radio station. it broadcasts its signals everywhere within range, yet without a radio tuned to their frequency, we will not be able to receive the radio broadcasts. if we are not "tuned" in to God, he may not exists for all we know,yet he is there with us all the while.
FYI, scientists worldwide have discovered that over 90% of the matter in our universe is "invisible", and most of it is a form of so called dark matter -dark because they don't know zip about it.(http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/dec/17/dark-matter-detected)

the omnipotent part is just as interesting. an all powerful being resides within you (and everywhere else that exists, for that matter).taken simply, it means that we have at our command an infinite source of power and energy, namely God, that we can tap into,so long as we are tuned into his frequency. what is God's frequency?first and most important,God is infinity in itself,and although his nature is all encompassing, we are told in the bible that GOD is LOVE. (1 john 4:8) makes sense, doesn't it?the most important commandments according to Jesus Christ are the ones on love, and Paul waxes lyrical on the qualities and eternal characteristics of love in 1 Corinthians 13. if God created all the known universe (and the unknown ones too),it would seem fitting that he would express himself predominantly as love, seeing he is the author of all that is. when we tune into God's infinite love, we are elevated to a higher level, we are transformed ( our peers and contemporaries may think we are crazy or worse,possessed) we are able to transcend the veil of illusion that clouds our minds into thinking that life is as we see it to be,as we have been taught it is, as we have been indoctrinated to believe it is.nature reveals her secrets to one possessed of God's infinite love,for to God, there is nothing supernatural,only natural laws that humans have not fully comprehended.
"....there is more in heaven and earth horatio, than dreamt of in your philosophy..."(Shakespeare)

what about this thing of referring to God as male?lets check that out. God is one, there cannot be any form of duality in him,otherwise he (i use it as a placeholder,not an indication of gender.move on) would be "not god"-by definition.male is a polar opposite of female.males exist as different end of the gender scales,opposite females. therefore god, not having an opposite polarity,cannot be male, neither female,nor hermaphrodite (hehe).God cannot also have a form, since a form implies boundaries as in you have a humanoid form composed of two legs,two arms, a funny looking face and a hairy/hairless body depending on your ability to shave.you have a hand, and there is a part of you hwere the hand starts and the hand ends and the wrist and forearm begin.the hand is not the leg and they serve differnt purposes,the hand limited to handy tasks and the leg limited to leggy tasks like keeping the rest of your body far from the smelly feet (this is where u crack a smile) god is without boundaries-again,by definition, unlimited,infinite, although he can take on any form or gender he chooses. methinks the theologians were off the mark by suggesting that "formed in God's likeness" means formed in God's physical likeness=>the idea of evolution is thus appalling to them,following this equation
god=mans physical likeness=apes primates,baboons and mugabe (according to charles darwin),ergo god's physical image=apelike.not good for theology.
BTW,more deaths and human suffering have come about in the name of God than in any other way.from the "holy" crusades,to religious persecutions to "holy" wars, more men die by the hands of their fellow men. religious institutions have misused the name of god to their own selfish ends, since time immemorial- their main claim on our lives being the "assertion" that God will be displeased with us if we dont follow THEM, that God will punish us by burning our souls for all etenity unless we {....insert your favourite greedy,selfish pastime her...}.a good number religious institutions use the emotions of guilt (u r a worthless sinner,nothing good can come from u unless u do as we say),fear (burn in hell, worthless and insignificant sinner) greed (streets of gold/72 virgins await u in heaven,OR give and God will fill you to abundance) and general ignorance (we are god's people,by implication u are not so shut up and listen to the anointed man of god,second class being.it is a privilege to share the same room as i do,you spiritual retard).only by knowing God for ourselves can we avoid the shackles and the snares that are set in the path of genuine seekers of truth. and you think that God is unable to deal with "unbelievers" unless you kill them or convert them by force? where is God's love when we divide lives into so many categories only for us to turn on each other?aren't we the same,and the only real differences are the ones we choose to hold in our hearts? would God the giver and sustainer of all life send men in his name to spread anarchy and chaos?WHERE IS THE LOVE?
