Theology of a Modern Heretic

An ordinary man's unconventional belief about God and his existence.

WHO ARE WE?

This question has haunted us since time immemorial.  And still we have not found the answer yet.

Generally, a lot of people say that our purpose here is to please God. And in order to please God, we have to do what is right [and “doing what is right” is even subjective, which will be discussed later in this book]. But how about those people who don’t believe in God, Does that mean that they don’t have any reason for living since they don’t believe in a God in the first place?

We shall start this section by introducing another question,

Who are we?
Major religions consider us as creation of God. However, we have been brought up to believe that we are lowly beings, sinners who are unworthy of God’s presence and blessings. But how can such masterpiece, created by the Greatest Artist in the Universe, receive such inferior regard from us? Let me tell you that we are far better than that because,

YOU ARE GOD

This answer again would seem to be sacrilegious to other people for there are some who strongly believe that we are inferior and unworthy beings. Let me explain my views.

Since God is Everything and you are part of it then you are god as well. I do agree that a part of a greater whole can never be the whole itself but you still share the same qualities and characteristics. You share God’s Holiness and Power, you share His Divine Characteristics, and hence, you are also god (take note of the small letter “g” of the word god to distinguish you as a part of the greater whole, God). That is why it is always said that you are created in His image and likeness. One of the Great Teachers, Jesus, has understood this better than us. He has shown us the way to become who we really are. His teachings and parables are made to empower everyone of us. They are made to allow us to develop our full potential of being god.
