You asked me how I know God exists and my response was that I don't believe He does. We are all asked to trust a piece of work not dissimilar to what I am writing here. An artistic expression can cover vast depths and literature is only one. The Bible stands at the pivotal center, and yes I say pivotal because it's ability to change depending on one's religion or implicit use is striking. Nevertheless there it sits and we read it as a nonfiction piece of work. There is no true proof for or against it, so what makes it any different from what we write here?

"There existed a man who sought to create something great. He layed down his hands and on the first day created land and a place where life could roam freely. He saw that it was good. And in such goodness, he thought there too should exist a space blue and pure. He layed down his hands and beneath them came the sky. He saw that it was good and in that goodness existed a need for something else. He felt a need for division of creatures. In one place he would put animals that could only roam solid ground. In the other, he would put all things that could swim. He hoped to fill it with depths so deep and so shallow that it could shadow differently depending on the day. And so he layed down his hands and created water. He saw that it was good and in the wake of his goodness he created light. He donned the earth with a sun to shine during the day and a moon to grace the darkness. He saw that it was good and in his goodness felt that he should rest."

That right there took me all of 5 minutes to construct; 5 minutes to "create." The imagination is a surreal thing and the possibilities endless.


You asked me how God exists and my answer is we make him exist. We craft stories, dreams, beliefs, fears, envies - around something. We worship because it makes us feel safe - makes us feel loved when there is no one, nothing else out there to love us. We've made yet another division between the people of this world in hopes that it will bring salvation and enlightenment. Instead it's created hostility and wars. It's created a gap between humanity that will be and never can be filled. There is information, stories, and miracles...but nothing concrete enough to prove one way or another. So the fighting will continue, leaving hatred in the hearts of many.


But that does not mean I don't believe in something. In a spirit or guiding force in life. It's something that coexists with evolution and the art of a creator. Whatever "It" is, it makes the miracles of this world pure and incomprehensible. It is something beautiful that can be shared but completely individual to oneself. So "God" exists in whatever form you need him to. For me, he never walked the earth. For me he is not a father, son, and holy ghost. Rather he is a guiding light, a guiding force that makes the world go round. He is part of the world, but he is not it and he is not the sole creator. He is just as much a part of this world's evolution as anything else.
