Imagine You Are God
Just imagine being omnipotent for a bit. What would YOU do?
The setting might be the following: YOU, having the power to do anything YOU like, standing in an empty room of infinity.
Sounds like there’s not much to do. YOU’re bored.
Do we know God is alone? There could be a whole city of them. Maybe God nations are fighting each other. More than likely there’s one nation conducting nuclear weapons tests all the time and another one holding all oil in God world. One country might be trying to „gexit“. We don’t know.
Just continue being God …
One day YOU must have gotten out of bed and thought “let’s make an earth”.
From a creativity perspective, this was genius. You’re still alone though. Tinder doesn’t exist yet, so you come up with the idea of cloning yourself. (Again genius.)
Might be dangerous though, because that being would be omnipotent as well. YOU need a solution for this, so you’re taking away the power from the clones. Now they can do the shitty work and you call them „humans“.
Wait. What shitty work? Can those little clones be of any use to YOU if you’re almighty? I guess no. YOU‘ve just created them for your entertainment? You rascal!
And even the “work” does not exist. Humans just keep coming up with tasks they “have to do” because they need to have a purpose. They cannot sustain having no reason to exist. And maybe even there is a reason. The thing is, YOU just don’t tell them. Because it doesn’t matter that they know. They are already doing what you expect them to, otherwise you would have created them differently — obviously.
Everything any human is doing is meant to be as it is.
That’s God’s work. It’s foolish to think that a human (lacking YOUR omnipotence) could possibly do anything that’s not intended by YOU.
Personally, I don’t believe in God for one simple reason: It doesn’t matter. If I would have to bend to fulfill God’s will, I’d have god-like powers. Note to myself: I don’t.
