What is God?
Perhaps this, and no other, is the question from which all belief should be based on all or atheism. And once answered that question when in fact, it can give rise to the following questions: Does God Exist? Do I believe in him? Do I need to believe in him?
These and many other questions have meaning only through the resolution of the first unknown, the utility of god.
It is known, or at least often thought that religious beliefs are valuable because they provide answers that make sense of transcendental life of believers. Every religion is a refuge where individuals can turn for comfort and protection when your life begins to be meaningless. Man seeks God, especially when self-esteem goes down. Then, the figure of a being that can do everything and that provides an idyllic vision of another life that is not present. With that image, the believer takes his faith and willingly accepts the rules of the message.
This is how life goes, God exists to provide a credible utopia. But is this utopia really useful?. Clearly, the marketing used to sell Paradise works very well, millions of people testify to this. But perhaps they are wrong … or maybe not.
In our Western world we are shown an omnipotent, able to make or break your craving anything. However, that omnipotence has value, the power exercised is displayed. Having absolute power is meaningless if it does not make use of that power. Some will say that power is seen and felt in their lives. And I say, what the life of who? Because here comes another property of the god, his omnipresence. If someone can do anything at any time and place, how is that not all the time and place is this show of power? How is that power is only displayed, if indeed it does, in some circumstances?
The free will of this magic formula uses God to juggle its presumed omnipotence and omnipresence. With this simple rule, God tells us to take out the chestnuts from the fire ourselves, that he will not intervene. But then, if I am I have to look for life, why do I need an all-powerful being who does nothing with their power?
Free will is a fancy way of saying we’re here alone and not ask for anything to be in no way going to listen.
What is free will? If there is a world beyond, where the angels are the souls celestial music while jumping from cloud to cloud in a state of infinite joy and happiness, what good are the holidays that we are taking in this world?
Well it seems that is only a sieve, a filter to screen out those who do not meet the essential requirements to enter paradise. If so, would just be a hoax, the divine play of a gambler to be having fun until it hangs the sign “no locations”, “sold out” in their private club.
