Below are 3 of the most brilliant concepts about 'God' I've ever read. This guy let the words flow from his mind like he was born to write them. Shit is so deep just had to share it. You don't have to believe these words. If you try to rationalize it you'll come up short. Roll with it. I only ask that you read these paragraphs with an open mind.
Number 3 captures the mystique and the last paragraph sums up reality (for me)

Number 3 captures the mystique and the last paragraph sums up reality (for me)
To be all powerful, all knowing, and all "mighty" could mean one of three things, depending on the scope of the observer. If I am God, why do those things? Depending on which I was, I would answer you thusly:
1. I am an alien. My technology, presence, and understanding grant me abilities far outside the reach of mankind's present limited capacity for comprehension. My age is inconsequential, as my past deeds and communications will stand against time itself as the "word". My magnificence in the eyes of mankind's simplicity has garnered me immortality. My understandings so far outweigh man's that my will changes the course of evolution itself. Those that I choose to be vessels of my ideology speak with the fervor of men possessed- because they in fact are. The mythology that has arisen around me is mostly imaginary, a product of man seeking to understand what they cannot comprehend. Of course, I have imparted my own views of right and wrong, and while I have both caused and prevented catastrophe, I do so at my own choosing. Mankind, "at the end of the day" is little more than an intriguing, sandboxed species with whom I only occasionally interact, and then for no other reason than because I am bored.
2. I am impossible. I do not exist beyond the imaginations of those who created then embodied me to grant relevance to their existence and to serve as the end-all, be-all when the eternal question is asked. "Why?" Because I will it so. I am an idea; an explanation when no other can be found. I am an emotional stabilizer. The notion of the natural chaos of the Universe being my wrath is used as a tool to influence and enslave. Events occur. I neither allow nor prevent anything, because I am only a notion. I am only there in the minds of those who have be trained to see me where there is nothing.
3. I am infinity. To simply be "infinite" suggests a state of being wherein others may share the condition. I am not "infinite". I am infinity itself. I am the ever-presence that permeates all. I have no purpose other than to "be". I have no will. I simply "am". Incidents do not occur because of me. They occur as a part of me. There is no positive or negative. There are no accidents. If something happens, it is as it should be. There is only balance. The God that is simultaneously worshipped and cursed is not me. That God is a fabrication of mankind's imagination and curiosity and as such is so much smaller than what I am. I did not create nor do I care about mankind. I am impartial. Mankind, like the rest of existence, past present and future, is a part of me- a part that grows, evolves, and dies within me, free to examine it's own sentience and question it's purpose. To that end though, I am not merely all of existence. I am greater than the matter than comprises me, but because of that, I am impossible to all that are not me. I, in fact, have no sentience of my own. I cannot. For me to be "aware" I must be limited in my capacity. Surely to be aware of all things within me, I must also be aware of all things around me. And yet, there can be nothing greater than God. Therefore, I am all- the breath people take, the ground they walk on, the life they live, the ideas they conjure, the sun that illuminates their way, and even that thing they can't remember. I have no power to speak of though. I do not speak with or through anyone or anything. I do not sway the tide of any condition. I am not capable of being involved beyond simply existing as every part of everything.
Disasters must happen. The Earth changes and grows just as we do. Whatever name is granted to malevolence, it too must always exist; for without the evil born of our self awareness, we could not comprehend it's opposite- good. Mankind is simply an animal. Granted, we are a very unique animal with the ability to see beyond what is material and obvious, but that same ability lends to us an incredible arrogance and ignorance. We can lament the causes of tragedy or we use our resources to avert and correct them. There will also always be those with more of something- something that grants them an edge that they will use either beneficially, malevolently, or not at all. That's life, and that's "all" God really is; life.
