I am not sure if this is the right thread to put my thoughts/philosophy of religion.
I believe there are 2 kinds of Gods.
God#1 is the God we worship. God associated with religion. His existence is purely based on faith. It does not matter, what we believe about this god or prophets are factual or not. Weather Mohammad really met an angel, weather Christ really resurrected, Weather Hanuman really tear his chest open to show Ram and Sita, does not matter. The actual occurrence of these events does not matter. These stories/events were passed down from generation to generation to generate love, respect and following of these Gods/Prophets, so that people may stay attached to them and thus, to everyone else who believe in these Gods/Prophets. This God#1 is nothing but the nucleus required to hold a society together. Affinity towards this God#1 holds people of a society together. That is the only role of this God. He is not responsible/capable of directly effecting any physical change in the life of us humans. He is not responsible/capable for rewarding or punishing humans. God#1, or rather what a religion tells us about God#1, gives us motivation, morals, guidelines and direction in life. Religion is nothing but Social constitution. Social constitution (religion) is required to have people behave in orderly and organized fashion. God#1(or belief in God#1) is required to validate this Social Constitution.
God#2 is the real GOD. He is the one responsible for real physical change in life of humans and world around him. He is the actual creator of the world and everything in it. He is the âknow allâ and âdo allâ. To know him is to know âthe truthâ. When you would discover this God (God#2) you will understand the past and can predict the future. When you will completely unravel this God (God#2) you will become God your self. Who is this God#2 you say? Well he is, MATHAMATICS⦠PATTERN. Every thing in this world occurs in a pattern. The most random looking occurrence could be explained by some equation or pattern. Each pattern is a part of another pattern which is a part of another pattern. Just like cogs of a watch. When you find the master pattern you can predict ever other pattern. When you find the master pattern/rhythm you can predict and perhaps change the future.
