RANDOM THOUGHTS #2 (some philosophizing)

The road trip home every other weekend always makes me philosophize. Like so many times before I am pondering about the existence of God. Logically laying out each data and conclusions. Maybe its just now that I had the courage to actually write about it where people can see. Hopefully not though, but thats another issue.

Anyway, I was thinking how Man throughout the ages have been exaggerating the notion of God to the point of being outright ridiculous. Man has taken extreme pains to explain the things around him. The time he gazed up in the sky with the first glimmerings of consciousness must also be the first time he asked the inevitable question WHY.  At which point he must have become the highest order of being on earth. To ponder on such relatively insignificant issues he must have established the beginnings of a civilization which enabled him enough leisure time to ask such questions. Instict led him to believe there must be someone higher even than him. Things around him he can not control must be the workings of a being more powerful than him. The power to call forth storms and thunders to move mountains and the ground beneath his feet.

Attributing petty human emotions to what he conceived as an angry god, naturally he did what sensible sub-being is able to do. Appeasement, worship, offerings, atonement, the works. And the rest as they say, is history. Man have moved on to being ridiculously descriptive and even graphic at times to appease this angry god.

As for me, I believe in humanity. Where he is going and what he has been through. That he will survive. Immortality achieved through his loins. Man will eventually take care of himself as he always has.
