Here's what I think about god, like it or not.
There's definitely something fishy going on in our planet. I mean, us, plants, animals. I don't believe we came to be merely by chance! Everything's there for a purpose. Fingers, thumbs, the folds in your eyelids, hair in your nose, the saliva on your tongue. EVERYTHING that u can think of has a reason to it.
Its as if someone (superior to us) made us to this detail. "hmmm lets give the lil guy 2 eyes instead of one so he can know what perception of depth is", and was a real genius of an engineer. So good, that we ourselves havent been able to create anything like HE created. Sure we have machines, computers that computer gigormous amounts of data within seconds, but they're crude and primitive compared to what He (or SHE or IT or THAT; whatever you wanna call) made.
So in my mind there is NO DOUBT that we're NOT the ONLY ones who EXIST. Offcourse I don't have the answer to "well gimme one example of NAME/PLACE/ANIMAL/THING that exists beyond us. I dont know, I haven't been there, nor seen it, nor felt it. I just KNOW its there from deductive/conclusive reasoning of the state of our existence.
Whether GOD in actuality is an alien or not, that I will leave to your own imaginations. But he exists, just like us, maybe not on the same plane, but there's no denying His work, his proof of existence. Albert Einstein didnt go and invent light and its physical properties, he merely studied it, and fell in love with the pureness and perfection of both theory and the actual thing. I'm sure he wondered: who on earth could have invented such a thing? Light: the basis of all life and information as we perceive it today.
But then here's where the story takes it turn (at least for me it does).
Brahma didnt create it. Nor did he create ANYTHING. Nor did Jesus, nor Allah or any of the other religious supreme beings claim to creator of the universe.
WE CREATED THEM. Yes sir, we did. We moulded our fantasies, curiosity, with an unquestionable fact of HIS exsistance. And then we played 'pretend'. "OH YOURE CUTTING YOUR NAILS AT 6 PM. AND YOURE ON THE DOORSTEP". "NARSIMA RAO IS COMING TO KILL YOU".
Why do we create such gods. Esp in Hinduism. Damn what 33 crore Gods.. and still counting? Why do we need God so much?? That we need to create 33 effing crores of him and pray. How does it work?
Create one today and start praying to him/her and if within a given time limit your prayers arent answered, create another one and start praying to that one? And all this while, you, benevolent creature of His creation, are decaying back into mouldy human clay.
But no! there's nothing you can do about it. Those GODS that they conjured up well before your time, you will still believe in, without understanding. Its unquestionable! BLASPHEMY! why do you think such a word even exists? So that NO ONE can question religion?
Tsk tsk.
Religion was invented by man as a means to support his logic. Logic was based on information. Information came from the stems of our senses. What we touched, ate, looked at, smelt. Our ego interprets the information from the senses and stores them into memory. By default, we are built in such a way, rather our minds are built in such a way, that it is always thirsty to fufil its purpose, parse and store information. Thence curiosity plagues all of humankind.
So inorder to stay sane, religion was invented. So that the masses wouldnt be worried if a Jupiter sized comet was going to pass in close proximity of the earth, praying in vain to a god that exists no where outside the realms of their own imagination.
So pityful are we :).
We give up our power to question logic so easily. So easily are we swayed by the pujaris and priests and pundits and padres.
"La hernus, tapai ko chora lai America ma gayera [successful] hunu ko lagi, malai bhagwan ko nam ma eti paisa chadaunus" is the unsaid motto of some holy men. Translate that into languages across the globe and apply it regionally, it can't fail.
