Let me begin with a disclaimer. This is my personal opinion
based on existing studies and that no one is being encouraged to agree. I
respect your beliefs and I have no intentions of hurting anyone's feelings.
I am a Theist. But I do not believe in Gods; in their
current forms. I haven't seen Him and those who believe in Him probably haven't
seen Him either. At least not in the last five hundred years except for His
holy mentions in our scriptures.
What form do I believe in then.? I have been a student of
science and I seek evidence before conforming. I believe in the existence of
galaxies and much higher form of life than humans. I believe ours is not the
only planet with life in our known and unknown universe. So I believe in the
existence of aliens. Aliens, much like any developed entity, would be on the lookout
for life on planets other than their own. After all, curiosity is not limited
only to humans. If humans continue to exist for another thousand years, I am
sure you would agree that we will find life elsewhere and colonize a few
other planets. That's how technology works and grows - exponentially.
The clue for my believable form of Gods lies in our history.
Humans knew the earth was round many centuries before we could reach exosphere.
We knew about the planetary systems and that the earth revolves around a dead
star. We have evidences of flying objects, destructive weapons and creatures
very much like humans but with many heads and limbs. Around us we see historic
monuments with complex architecture, intricate designs, clues of superior
technology, existence of advanced science, medicine, also cave paintings
and ink that stood the test of time, pyramids, technology like telepathy,
teleportation and concepts that are well beyond our current quantum
capabilities.
So how did the humans know of these when even today we are
struggling to get many of these to work. I think that's where Gods come into
play. An alien form of life that transcended the collective intelligence of
humans, who were different from us not just in the physical form but also in
intellect. They may have evolved for a few thousand years more than us. When
they found us, we were primitive. We are still primitive compared to them
because they are around for longer duration than us. They taught us astronomy,
astrology, science, art and gave us intelligence to survive and flourish. And
anyone who gives us intelligence, must be eulogized and worshiped. Then one day
they went back to their Heavenly abode and we continue to say prayers looking in the same direction staring at the nullness of space. A few came back again after centuries to check on us - not
the one that came before but an Avatar of the same God. Because Gods don't die
- they regenerate, they follow binary fission like an amoeba, the simplest form
of life on our planet. They have mastered the force of gravitation, can bend space time and build tesseracts.
Then how do we explain the existence of so many Gods.? I
can't say with certainty but I attribute this to an Alien invasion where one
alien group varied from the other, giving birth to multiple Religious beliefs.
I foresee humans doing this too when we are able to, divided by countries and
by faith.
What is making me say this today.?
I believe if you are killing someone in the name of God, I
can say it with absolute certainty, your God of belief won't be happy. He will
come back one day and be utterly disgusted to see the destruction we have
caused in His name. Let us not demean the intelligence granted to us by our
Gods irrespective of our faith and religion. Because Gods do definitely exist
and we have to face Him one day..

Yes, it's your opinion and the last paragraph leaves a question "Why..Why my god of belief won't be happy?"
In one of the holy book, there is a mention where God says
"Arjuna, whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer (in sacrifice), whatever you give away, whatever you do by way of penance, offer it all to me"
Just a thought......
This was quite an interesting read. This analogy has been in existence for some time. the desire to seek God is timeless and man always had and has a question - "who is he"?
As you rightly say - God is a belief. While we discuss the existence of God, we might want to ask science - what drives us? Can science or any one create such a complex structure as a human body? If God's were aliens, Who made them? That is intriguing. What is aatma? Why does the same body which blooms when alive, embraces rapid decomposition once dead? What keeps things intact?
Is there a conduit somewhere which connects us to a larger being aka God? Your blog made me think. The human body is unique. how is it there? I know that a clone can happen nowadays but there is something which governs. We can call it Alien or God, or Project alpha but something for sure made us and the aliens who might have come in the days of yore and maybe even today! Lets look for it. I feel the search starts within ourselves.
Very interesting.. I don't know if I can say with certainty that I agree with it but yes this has definitely got me thinking about this new analogy related to Almighty..
Made me think...really !!!! :-) By the way, the very last para resonated really well with me. I agree to disagree with you....I believe in Karma and strong believer in one of the saying which goes - What you give is what we get !!
Very apt and expressed at the right time. As usual, command of language is 'sublime' :)
As with any belief, it is subjective.
But your interpretation has been quite objective and thus should appeal to any rational mind. But in the end our conditioned (or brainwashed) minds will accept what suits us or confirms to our existing/accepted beliefs.
