Escapism thy name is god.

One might wonder why is it so difficult to understand god and his ways. People wonder about god's role in everyday turn of events. When america occupied iraq something inside me wondered, "does god take sides? " . Theists will label all the above doubts as frivolous and childish. A kid always believes god shall be with the good, or atleast that what he's taught. The kid in me cant see the emperor's royal clothing!



We cant understand god cause god was created to escape understanding. Whatever we cant understand or reason out is god. Things we understand become science while those we dont become god.



Even if god does exist, what kind of a person he would be? Mahatma Gandhi didn't like people paying adulation to him, all he wanted was "following" . God shall surely be more sophisticated and understanding than MK. So why dont we humans just try and emulate god the way we imagine he is? He surely isn't lookin for our adulation.

Enough, enough : this post has been way too philosophical for some blog titled smoke and booze.
This is my first post and so a bit about carvaka, a prominent indian atheist and materialist school and my PHILOSOPHICAL views!
