Ranting About God in Ups and Downs

You spend your whole life looking for answers but you know what, they are most likely way too simple - people will always over complicate what ‘is’ with our petty self-importance. Thing is in the end, your feelings and thoughts don’t contribute to the overall reasoning behind the universe. We are all just souls partaking in the universes own social experiment: will you take what isn’t yours; will you resist this and that; will you leave your own mark on the grand machination? The point of life is to live and we are so caught up in these big convoluted plots and politics that we forget that everything boils down to a grand design so completely simplistic.

A man I saw, he was yelling yesterday about what the point of it all was - what was the point of god. And my thoughts are: what is the point of you? At no point have I ever heard that god was a instrument of us - no, we are a instrument of God. He asks with the disease and death that plagues us all, would a god allow that? Has he forgotten that there is good and evil? At what point has any church-goer thought that there wasn’t bad things in this world? And that’s the short-sight of atheism - they forget the devil exists and the devil is evil - and if not the devil, there is always some opposite to every religion. God, etc didn’t allow it but the Devil, etc did - he presents temptation and people take it.

And, you know, this is coming from me - for all intensive purposes I’m a bad person. I’ve had sex out of wedlock, I’ve had sex with women younger and older, I’ve taken advantage or people for my own person gain, I’ve drank, I’ve done drugs, I’ve stolen, I’ve hurt, I’ve lied and lied and lied and lied. But even I can say that, in the end, this was me using the freewill given to me and using it in the wrong ways. I was the one who gave into temptation and I’ve paid for it time and time again. My nightmares and my pain are always going to be there but its all my fault. Without those mistakes, however, I’d not have known what it was to be human and that God moves in ways people don’t. Its all simple - too simple for me and too simple for you to grasp. Money isn’t god, time isn’t god, things are not god, people are not god, buildings are not god, books are not god, games are not god, movies are not god - life is; choices are. And we got to make them and we got to mess up before we know what is right and wrong.
