my thoughts...

[The below are personal opinions. I would suggest doubting them in every why possible.]

What if when god created man he didn’t understand us? Of course if this was true it would negate my base religion, but I’ll deal with that in my own way. What if he gave us something that he hadn’t given any of his previous creations, for the sake of this let’s say Angels? At one point in the old testament god completely blots out all human life on the earth except for the most strictly religious family, Noah, because everyone else was too damn evil to live. Later, even Noah starts to falls out of grace with god because he too becomes “evil”.

Let’s say, when god created angels he made them the perfect servants. They worshiped him with every thought and every move. They wanted nothing more than to please god and where unable to sin. But now there’s humans. We have a choice in the matter. We can choose to sin and most of us like to sin, but again god didn’t understand the choice he gave us. So he wiped out everyone except Noah, a man who I’m sure would cut-off any body part he thought god didn’t like.

A couple thousand years go by and god starts to understand a little more, but there’s something’s he is simple incapable of knowing. God wouldn’t have known, for instance, what it’s like to eat a fish, or have sex, or (and this is important) die. If your “all powerful” and you want to know what it’s like to do these things, what do you do? You create a human body, of course. Let’s call that body Jesus. Through Jesus, god feels sin for the first time and starts to understand his broken creation more fully, but there’s still one thing that god hasn’t felt. Death. Have you ever read the part of the Christian bible that describes the death of Christ? The sky goes dark and various other big scary things happen. I think those are the repercussions of a being that has been since the beginning of time feeling what it’s like to die.

Then, with gods newfound understand of humanity, god decides that humans simply don’t respond well to having an almighty figure lording over them, and god decides to change his position. God no longer makes burning bushes or rains fire from the sky, but instead he watches and does his best to make humans fix their own damn world.
