The almighty ruler of
heaven and
earth. Well thats "God". If your just talking about "a god" it could be Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, or even
Bob if you want.
Some people do not believe in any god. Others believe in a symbolic one. These people are among the most brilliant on
Earth(including John Lennon & I). They understand that they will not appear in a fiery pit or anywhere else after they die. Yet they live as well as any Christian because they know that hell is every bit of guilt, depression, rejection, and
pain felt in life, and that
heaven is all comfort, happiness,
love, and peace. Some pray to a god for hours everyday. Do they think He likes to, or is even able to listen to millions of people talk about their problems? They could spend that time doing good for the world and then they wouldn't feel so depressed, & would have friends to talk to instead of just God. If every minute spent praying for God to help the world was spent actually helping the world, we would live in heaven.
"I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what
people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest
said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong."
John
Lennon
