God is the final answer or God is the most inclusive and comprehensive answer. God is not a question, but an answer! I know I am am not making any sense. I can try to explain. Here it goes. There is mind baffling volume of written literature and even more verbal words on God. Everyone has either for or against opinion or point of view on god.
We ask What is god? Does god exist really? Does he punish us? Is he fair? Is he not unfair? Is he omnipresent? How can he be omnipotent? What are his functions with respect to earth and universe? Can god speak or is he always silent? Does god help when we need it the most? etcetera etcetera and really questions on gods go on from generation to generation, creating only confusion and battles.
But I think god is not a thing to ask questions on? I may ask question on Earth, Science, Art, Life, Psychology, Economy, Sex, Gender discrimination, Wars, Natural Disaster, Ghosts, Moon, Books, Marriages, Suicides, Dance anything but leave alone god. God is just not meant for that purpose or I'd say god is meant for exactly the opposite utility. Be we refuse to know this.
I am not suggesting that don't question god, or god exists or god doesn't. I am saying just leave God out of question because it is the greatest answer humans have ever devised. We all have limited capacity to understand. And mass intelligence collectively is lesser than the sum of all individual intelligence said C Sigh and I agree. Having said this, Now I say 'there are many things in various areas of life that we really don't understand and we need answers for them rather desperately'. God is for that exact reason. When we don't have an answer for things, we answer it with God. God is common answer to almost all the big mad questions we face today.
For example, I ask my dad 'Where does the Sun rise and where does it set? he may answer "Sun rises in the east and sets in the west." I get an answer. But If I asked him a question to which he also has no answer then he may say God knows or God wills or God did it, etc. So he invented an answer with god. And if that answer is acceptable then I take it. But if I am not satisfied with that God answer then I must find another and not argue with my dad over God. Because God was supposed be answer, if I think the answer not agreeable, then I am free to find another. But, instead we don't look for another answer and cling to the given answer, and disagree and then mess up and argue over the most comprehensive god answer.
I think it is strange. It is like asking what is the colour of a flower ? and if someone answers " A flower is red " and If I think it is not for any xyz reason, then obviously I must find out what other colour it is. I shouldn't argue over theory of colour or colour Red at all. You know, because it was just an answer, I am free to find another better one or acceptable one.
We have god all the time present in our talks and thoughts because we need him, because human species can't do without this answer to many damn complicated haunting questions. Because we have failed to find another better answer or answer at all. Because we question every damn thing and then unanswered questions drive us crazy and we need some answer to make peace with. Because we want to understand everything. It is like a crazy hunger for knowing it all. Because we want to see a full picture, and even if, even if this vision comes at a cost of being blind. To see the complete picture we have made "God" to fit into puzzle, and that God really we haven't seen, but have created him may be in standard 'part reality- part fiction' way. God will never speak, and never will be seen ever for the obvious reason I said already.
So, I will try to not question god. At least for sometime. In fact I am tired of questioning and rather I will love to stop questioning at all, I mean questioning in a doubting way. Being conscious is not doubting and asking all the time. Asking is my habit. bad habit? Habits die hard. But, God has to go out of my area of question for sure.
