Re: What is God ? or in which type of God do You Believe?
If, as you believe, there is an almighty, omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent God-who created the earth or world, please let me know why did he create it ? This world of woes and miseries, a veritable, eternal combination of numberless tragedies: Not a single soul being perfectly satisfied.Untrue, there are many satisfied souls, myself being one of them, Creator created, Creator cannot take responsibility for our actions in how this world has turned out. Why can't God take responsibility for how this world has turned out. Parents are responsible for the well-being of their child. Parents duty is not just to give birth to a child but they bother to give him good education and all other things which they need, and take care of their actions and do as much as they can even if child do misdeeds. So if God created this world and he treat everybody as his child, then he should take the responsibility for how this world has turned out.
Pray, don't say that it is His Law: If he is bound by any law, he is not omnipotent. He is another slave like ourselves.It is not his law, it is the opposite, it is down to our law, if we all followed Hukam, the world would be a better place, but we do not, so disease, imbalance of assets, environmental tragedies all take place as a consequence, well most of these environmental tragedies, disease, imbalance of assets takes place to those people who followed his Hukam, but those who do not obey his Hukam, are in better situation than formers. Please don't say that it is his enjoyment.Creator enjoys seeing Creation living in perfect harmony, O a picture of present world I present to you is perfect harmony for you and creator is enjoying seeing all this. Then how merciless he is. Nero burnt one Rome. He killed a very limited number of people. He created very few tragedies, all to his perfect enjoyment. And what is his place in History? By what names do the historians mention him? All the venomous epithets are showered upon him. Pages are blackened with invective diatribes condemning Nero, the tyrant, the heartless, the wicked.
One Changezkhan sacrificed a few thousand lives to seek pleasure in it and we hate the very name. Then how are you going to justify your almighty, eternal Nero, who has been, and is still causing numberless tragedies every day, every hour and every minute? As stated, Creator does not cause these tragedies, they are man or nature made, what Creator does is give us ways and philosophies to handle and deal with these tragedies, Sikhi is not magic, no hocus pocus, no prayers and miracles, it is pragmatic way to live life. ha, he gave us ways and philosophies to handle and deal with these tragedies, why don't he just stop all these tragedies himself when he is so powerful to create this whole world. How do you think to support his misdoings which surpass those of Changez every single moment? I say why did he create this world - a veritable hell, a place of constant and bitter unrest? Why did the Almighty create man when he had the power not to do it? What is the justification for all this ? Do you say to award the innocent sufferers hereafter and to punish the wrong-doers as well?This and most of your post is based on an Abrahamic view of God, the God that we believe in and accept does not punish or reward Well It is written in Gurbani, that those who do misdeeds will get punishment for this as As you sow so shall you reap. I ask why your omnipotent God, does not stop every man when he is committing any sin or offence? He can do it quite easily. Why did he not kill war lords or kill the fury of war in them and thus avoid the catastrophe hurled down on the head of humanity by the Great War? Why does he not infuse the altruistic enthusiasm in the hearts of all capitalists to forgo their rights of personal possessions of means of production and thus redeem the whole laboring community - nay the whole human society from the bondage of Capitalism. You want to reason out the practicability of socialist theory, I leave it for your almighty to enforce it. It is called free will, Creator does not interfere with Creation, if I get drunk and decide to drive home, and see a tree come out of the fuzzy haze, and I supposed to pray and hope God changes the law of physics and somehow makes the tree vanish? or make people come back to life again? or cure HIV? or make herpes go away? no, Creation moves on, we are all here to validate and check each other, do not blame Hitler on Creator, blame the many people that followed him, if we are to think and action, we must take responsibility for such, to the end. Creator has given us knowledge and information, embrace this, and despite what is happening around you, you will be happy and content and following Hukam, and maybe together we can make the world a better place instead of sitting on our behinds chanting for Creator to put OUR mess right. Well I agree with you that what ever wrong deeds we have done, we get punishment for that. But what about those innocent people who never did any such misdeeds and born in a poor family and due to their poverty they could not get education, and live in misery?
