I am and therefore God Is! Who Is Your God?


I suspect that much of our suffering is often than not a result of ignorance and our failure to understand God and the concept of God due to the littleness of our finite minds
Our problem is neither God nor existence that we cannot fathom them. Our problem is the littleness of our minds that cannot grasp Big minds like Him. We are midgets in a desert of life trying to figure out the geography of the surroundings and that without a Compass  and again often with wrong tools, too!

The problem is that we are too ignorant to understand. Our very educational systems are founded on the belief that we are ignorant. And since we began to search for knowledge the only thing we have so far managed to discover and master is the depth and height of our own ignorance. Every new eureka confirms how pitiably ignorant we were until that moment. And so we find that the greatest education we come out with from our tertiary institutions is ignorance. Humanity is thus a perpetual imbecile who never learns enough to be liberated.
Does God really exist? That is one of the questions that has not just vexed us since the world began but also managed to divide us as well.
After all, who is this God? How do we know He exists? Is there a way to prove His existence? And what is existence? Why is there existence and not nonexistence? Why should we exist? And who wills us to exist? In short, what is the meaning of life?
These are some of the question I would like to attempt as a dummy trying to learn my way out of life’s mazes.
How do you prove? That is a fool’s question. Does our failure to prove the existence of God prove His nonexistence? Is it not interesting how we can afford to believe in our own existence but disbelieve the existence of God?
In short, I fear that our problems lie in that we often ask wrong questions and that to wrong people, at wrong times and places, too!
Once again, I beg your pardon. Our ignorance is not a valid argument to dispute the existence of God and reality.
For me, that I am proves that there is existence in the first place. That there is existence suggests the possibility of the existence of others other than me since I did not bring myself out here. That others do exist proves the possibility that God is.
The problem then perhaps should not be one of whether God exists or not as it should be of who is God to you? If you are god, then perhaps you are right that god does not exist because in that case, we are all gods which is still the same thing as to say that God exists! Hence I am and therefore God is!
