OMG

God damn it I don’t know where to start. What is God? Who is God? The word “god” has Indo-European descent and used to simply mean invoked one. It has always seemed like such an abstract concept to me. I say “god” all the time, but I never put much thought into it. I’ve never been religious, so God has never been a giant dude sitting in the clouds making it rain. What does God mean now in 2010?

God is put into so many things nowadays. The most annoying being politics. Whenever I hear people protesting gay marriage in the name of God, it makes me cringe. How could a God that’s supposed to promote holy virtues also promote hate and intolerance? People can’t claim to know the workings of God, and it’s ridiculous to try. People also always thank God during award shows AFTER they win. What about the losers? I guess God has his/her favorites too.

I don’t really know much about God or religion. To me religion is merely a guide to live life. I see the bible as a piece of literature with God and his many forms being the main character. I don’t think any of it really happened. God and religion were just supposed to be an incentive for people to live right so that after they die they go to heaven. This has been the hardest blog for me. I really don’t know how other people see God. When I think of my family, they see Him as being the one that looks after them and is responsible for all good. I guess that’s the nice way of seeing God. If I were to believe in him/her, I would probably look at it that way.
