What If God Were One Of Us?

girl_dee · 11-20-2013, 06:29 AM

Hah how super amazing that this thread popped up.

It's been on my mind big time lately.

i don't know what i believe in. No, that's not true, i know what i do not believe.

i do not believe that there is a God who is in charge, if so, God has some explaining to do.

i am learning that for me, God is my higher power, my perfect self.

Raised Catholic its hard to unwire it all, but it never made sense to me. i believe in Deities, the Saints, the Spirits, and as of late i wonder if this is even true.

Some things don't make sense to me, like why men have nipples. i long for something to make sense. None of it makes sense.

We are so perfectly designed, i know it was not a fluke, something with much more intellect than we have, created us and i feel is out there somewhere.

And if i were God in charge i would probably wipe it all out and start over.

If I was God, I'd bring back the McRib all year round not just for its limited time...

My answer came to mind as soon as I read the question.
I am a Christian and I believe very strongly in God. With that said, I could never fathom someone else being God, let alone myself. But if God said to me, "Tony, you're God for a day. What will you change or do?"
My answer would be simple. Nothing. There is a reason and a season for all that God does and I would never presume to be capable to question that. He is my higher power. In the end, He is who I will answer to. No one else. I have complete faith in His judgement and what He has created.
Not meaning to sound like I'm preaching here. Just answering from my own perspective based on my faith and spirituality.

to all the believers in God.

Where was that God before the tsunami?

Where was that God before your daughter was abducted, raped and killed?

Where was that God before your home was destroyed by an F4 tornado?

Where was your God before you lost your job 2 years before pension was suppose to set in?

Realizing many need to believe in something to get themselves through the day, it really makes my mind numb when so many folks AFTER tragedies decide it's a great time to thank their God.

I have no answers for this. Tragic? Absolutely. But again, it's not for me to question God. Only to have faith. I thank my God everyday, regardless. I also pray to Him everyday, regardless.

With that, I believe this thread has the potential to turn bad. I've always believed there are 3 subjects you can never truly discuss: religion, politics and sports. They all are based on our own perspective, opinions and beliefs. I believe everyone is entitled to believe as they feel. It is what it is. Nothing can be proven. Hence, the potential for arguing is huge..
Religious beliefs after all are what most wars are made of..
