The question of man and god


If man is created by the great divine, the god almighty in his image, then... obviously the same man as we can conclude should be gifted with similar attributes of the god himself. Those attributes then could be as gentle like that of Mother Teresa or pacifistic as of Mahatma Gandhi or even could be attributed to that of the all forgiving son of god, Lord Jesus himself who suffered for mankind, suffered from mankind and ultimately pleaded to his father, the god almighty himself for their deliverance (though i am not Christian it can be speculated as such). Whereas we also could suppose that those attributes could include that of the great dictator Hitler who was widely known to be the chief architect of one of the saddest and most horrible event ever to occur in the human history; The Jewish Holocaust or even if we go back simultaneously and include on of those collective atrocities; the lowest of low brutalities and human degradation as performed by then home-sick, over-patriotic, and cruel Japanese soldiers during WWII stationed in Nanking, Korea and many other defeated countries where Japanese with impressive small military force subjugated the populous native people of those regions. In the entire human history, man has fought with un-match-able vigor and lust against his own kin for resources, prestige/ego and all those things that he deems to be valuable in the possession of those others that he wants to have but couldn’t have without applying brute force. He conquered those other people, sold them as equal to domesticated animals, plundered the sweat and blood earned wealth of those very other people so that he could raise himself, his status, his wealth, his power in the society he lived. Then, the man in the image of god, is he not cruel, is he not puffed up by prejudice that none other than he himself had created? How can he, the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent god could let all these people murder each other, slaughter a whole tribe of those other people, or crush freedom as is the birthright of each individual in the name of a lofty ideology whose value has no significant importance to raise the people from the degradation that he has initiated? Yes, in one hand, the initiative to so called correction to his psyche seems to be good but looking at the big picture without the limited rigid vision of his particular ideal, does he the conqueror has even the right to decide the fate of people who are in their own are driven by different set of value s than he himself is. The all-powerful man may believe and he surely does, that the ultimate result is all that matters and wherein those particular others are the ones who are responsible for the current degradation of the perfect nation preventing him to use his power to create the perfect world, he is bestowed to do so... but is it in fact that true? Could it also not be that every person, every community is similar as him trying to do their best from their stand point of view for their people and protecting their people from other people.  The point is that no one civilization envisioned by man is free from the blood shed or atrocities of the darker sides and to amalgamate the perfect man as by the will of the perfect god is near to impossible but not that impossible if we look towards the future not befuddled in the murky past. What we need is a place, a time and relentless effort to begin and end with and to understand not with the use of weapons of mass destruction which man has created far more perfectly than his wildest dreams could conceive, what he must do is go beyond them using concrete dialogues that is to be heard and spoken honestly, simply and without personal agenda associated or any prejudice he personally has whatsoever as well as the people on the round table.


We have to understand, if god is so powerless to change such brutal man, then how can man change man and also how could anyone ever even imagine the circumstance the subjugated man is going through? Gandhi may with his non-violence movement have brought peace by reclaiming the mother-land away from British Raj but he also divided India further into India and Pakistan into the two bi-polar so called god worshiping identity of Hindu and Muslim countries... Also martyrdom of Martin Luther King Jr. the famous orator for black equality along with white; all is still been naught as controversial in the Oscar Ceremony 2016. There are things god if he really exists could have prevented if the people who are living in his image couldn’t. So like Nietzsche had advocated there comes automatically the existential question of god’s origin identity and purpose i.e. god is dead? Like really truly dead? Broadly contemplating much, it simply is obvious, suppose god gave the key of man’s destiny to himself his own destruction or triumph by his own hand. Then, the destruction initiated by Hitler as quoted by himself is it the expression of the deep seated human- hatred for Jews by his so called Aryan race including is it the salvation of Jesus in his ability to forgive or more precisely his unconditional love towards the humanity as whole including those who crucified him on the cross despite the mortal suffering he had to go through. Humanity is therefore either doomed by its own creations or is saved by his understanding of what it’s like to be on the other side of the gun barrel as of the losing side. Even if god is almighty as many believers believe, could he really recreate man again and re-experiment until he gets his hand on the most perfect man as perfect as himself who will inherit the universe and rule it without the narrow possibilities which today's man is so fallible to and is compromised by his decision which in short term is beneficial but in the long-term counterproductive towards his existence? The speculation is endless. Thus, we can only hope one-day man will be as wise as the perfect god unlike the imperfect divine which I had so arduously mentioned above and with his powerful faculties change himself, his ways and all that his senses can perceive to create a  perfect world free from atrocities like his ancestors had committed to make him stand where he will be one day, not to judge the people by their history or ideology they are forced to follow or are  freely following but stand unchallenged by the narrow selfish confining conscious of past towards the united compassionate conscious that wills for good of all living and those who are/aren’t alive anymore.
