They call god Jehovah, Jesus, Allah, Vishnu, Krishna, and a thousand other names. Can they all be right? They give god many attributes; "just", "loving", "stern", and a thousand faces as well. Can they all be right? They quote god's words and directions to us in book after book called the bible, the koran, and another thousand other works. Can they all be right? Quite obviously the answer is no.
The problem with trying to define god, is that the moment you you do you loose all ability to see god for what god truely is. If you can only see god through rose colored glasses, then you are blind to anything but rose colored attributes.
But what if god isn't rose colored at all? What if god can only be seen through yellow tint glasses? What if god can't be define by the colors you or I choose? What if god is something beyond human definition completely?
Given the fact that there is no evidence, what so ever, to support the world's religous definition of god, and that there are countless versions all contradicting each other, why do we as humans insist on forcing our definition of god on everyone else? Why do we kill and discriminate against each other over this?
How about we all step back and accept the fact that we just don't know, and allow that perhaps the definition of god, if god needs any definition to begin with, is beyond our capability. Perhaps then we can find god. Perhaps god has been right on the other side of that fence all along.
A place for independent thought.
