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!

Like Gods, Like Devotees: Religion, “the Opium of the People”?


R
eligion—“the opium of the people”? That sounded more of an insult and invective than a truth when Karl Marx first etched it. Everyone who thought themselves sane vilified and condemned the author if not to death but at least, to “hell.” The faithful ones considered the utterance blasphemous. But was it?

Of course, Marx might have meant it as such—a terse pungent remark towards organized religion. But has religion lived to demonstrate otherwise since the utterance of those words? That may be a controversial question, I am sure.
