If this were a fight, I would pick man over God anyday of the week. I believe, nay I am certain that in this universe the greatest form of realization is self realization.
Let us take for argument sake that God in fact does not exsist, that he/she/it is a product of our creation, our imagination and in our imagination, this God imagined the cosmos into existence. If that were the case, then wouldn’t logic lend itself to the conclusion that since God is our delusion and the cosmos God’s delusion, we ourselves are a delusion created by ourselves ? That is to say, our existence is defined merely by our imagination and in reality, we are greater than our God/s ??? Now, if I were to take the converse position of there being a God, we being he/she/its creation bred to have faith and at the same time doubt our faith in this God and as it were created to be as “best as we can be”, then I propose does it not imply that our sole reason to exsist is to surpass the God/s that made us ? If not why propose to make us “in his image” and design us to doubt our allegiance ? Does that not suggest a flaw in creation ? If God can create flawed creations then how can we lend credence to the fact that God is perfect in all his/her/its works ?? Also, to further convolute my obtuse ravings, let me further propose, if God did intend for mankind to be imperfect, then as his “imperfect” creations do we still regard him/her/ it with reverence for our intentionally “flawed” existence ?? Isnt that akin to amputating your child or your pet for your control over it ? Such acts are considered immoral and vile by reasonable men, yet why do we accept our creation to be just in the first place ? The contradictions pile atop each other like the allegedly accursed tower of babel itself!
Now let me direct this raving from another angle. Say, we as mankind were to create a new species of sentient life. Do we, as “creators” build them “deficient” to protect ourselves ? And by doing so can we be take upon the mantle of “God” to our collective progeny ? Would it be ethical or even credible to claim such a title ? Would our conscious allow us to do so ? I am willing to bet, it wouldnt and neither would we choose to do so in the first place. We would be without our rights to protect our interests but we would be crossing a line of morality were we to burden our creation with the delusion of our sanctity.
Now can’t we reasonably conclude that what we consider God/s had the same dilemma and upon introspection decided to grant us the choice to question and analyize our faith or the lack thereof merely to assuage his conscience (for we assume God to be a being of good conscience!) in creating us as he/she/it did! But alas, this reasoning is a product of our small sphere of intellect.
At the end of your days, your life, your sanity, when you are prepared to face the end of existence as you know it, will you move forward into the unknown with these doubts ???
