The actual entity of God (or whatever word you wish to describe it) may in fact be so vast and pure, that we in flesh can not stand before it, and the conditioning of our religions and cultures may influence our perspective of god (male god, female god, angry god, many gods). But we are in fact a part of god as a whole. Its like experiencing your arm...It is you, and it is a part of you, can also be a separate entity, but works as a whole with the body. People like to look at God as an external force outside ourselves, judging us, watching us, acting separate than us...But we are splinters of GOD, sent to experience its creations. If we stop putting a divider between the creation and the creator, we will find that we all are one, as well as you and god are one, and many possibility's with in yourself may open because of that. I think some who have not experienced god, think its just a fairy tale...Which is true for them, because that is their reality. They have not awakened to the god connection with in themselves, and go against the grain to speak. Alot of people dont want to believe in God, and lean towards atheism because they see it like a battle against the church. To admit there may be a higher power would be a surrender to the church, which is very far from the truth. The church can act as a government, the same as a country or state, and God works inside the individual. Religion is of man, spirituality is of GOD. The internal struggle with the concept of rather God is real or not, should be one debated on the inside with the spirit. Not fought in public. Its something you must do within yourself. Sometimes people add ego, and pride to the discussion, but ultimately your beliefs are your own, because each person is different, and each person's connection with the creator is different. Individually we are just another voice in the crowd, our opinion no better or more valuable than the next guys. If you experence hate or anger when disussing or thinking about the concept of GOD, it may be beacuse you feel hostile towards people's interpitation of GOD, and need to seek your own interpitation. Everyone who reads a book has a different interpitation, or meaning they take from that story...The same can be said for each persons connection with source as well.
JUST MY THOUGHTS, AND THEY ARE MY OWN.
