The God Misapprehension

The idea that God is an over sized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying ... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.Carl Edward Sagan
What you know, and what you believe, is not only necessarily your own opinion. It might have been formed by reading, or by observation, or by being spoon fed ''facts''. No religion says that you need to love a god in order for him to love you. No religion wants you to become god fearing. A religion can never, and should never force you to do something undesirable. A religion is a unified system of beliefs, a set of ideas and ideals on how to live prosperously while taking care of everyone you care about.The notion of god exists because it is only human to want a father figure watching over us and our mistakes all the time. There can be different gods for everyone. The Christians have their god, the Muslims have their and the Hindus have their own gods too. It Doesn't Matter! At the end of the day, every god and every religion wants the same thing. Prosperity. Bright Future. Taking care of everyone.

The latest theories of the unity of matter, motion, space and time, the unity of the discontinuous and continuous, the principles of the conservation of matter and motion, the ideas of the infinity and inexhaustiblity of matter were stated in a general form in philosophy.

"God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically"
- Albert Einstein
