Understanding God
After examining the supposed nature of godly beings, an interesting theological paradox emerges that may lead to at least one atheistic conclusion. The hypothetical will at least raise challenges to our understanding of deity itself, without thoroughly examining whether it exists or not. For argument’s sake, we will assume deity is real. The flaw applies to any religion, any god or celestial being; monotheistic or polytheistic religion doesn’t matter. Any being that is considered to be able to greatly influence reality itself as it relates to humanity or the feelings of a human person is susceptible. The following hypothetical serves to demonstrate the vast, and for all intents and purposes, infinite gap in ability to understand or even to comprehend the motives of any Godlike being that powerful. The omitted phenomenon should lead you to conclude that if our understanding of godlike beings is to be actually considered, then it also must be considered that we have popularized a limited human-focused understanding of Gods instead of a more accurate God-based perspective. Viewing godhood through a human lens is a foolproof way to inaccurately describe their true nature. This true nature is seldom present in any media attempting to portray godlike power or wisdom, and due to that fact, it may serve as evidence that many depictions of Gods serve as only the imitation or hope of what Godhood is. Limited from and by humans attempting to become something larger than the very nature of themselves. Fabricated celestial hearsay cultivating a human superiority complex, if you will.
