Notion of God



Hey, ya seekers of 'magics and logics'..you all might be wondering your place in this grand design of the creator of all that is! The Mighty Father - "Figure" or Physicist's Alleged B.B.T., whatever that gave birth to this world of yours.


In here, I do not intend to talk about platitudinous people, who call themselves atheist and some say theist, but aspire ya all to contemplate the notion of God in a more subtle sense. Let's consider the word God, taken as a compilation of either of two different sense of contemplation : Pragmatic or Idealistic. Though, being pragmatic does not indicate atheistic behavior neither being Idealistic indicates theistic behavior. But, being cynical with a sense of pure skepticism leads to the way through the dark forest of ignorance to the place where conscience has always conquered false beliefs and rudimentary skepticism.



Let's take an account from the story of The Binding of Isaac from The Hebrew Bible, where god asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac to prove his faith in God, himself. In turn, when Abraham was going to slain his only beloved son, an angel called out from heaven to withhold Abraham from sacrificing his son to God. Moral of the story: "God abhor child sacrifice and wants his children to prove their faith in him".    

So, was it Abraham who feared God so much that he was tempted to kill his only son bestowed by his own God or was it God, himself who feared of losing faith of his children! This concerns the perception of the reader. Likely, If one consider that Abraham feared God, he might be Idealistic, or if one considered God who worried for fidelity from his children, he might be pragmatic in his own views. Although, having a view that this story is absurd in its contextual form does imply that there is more to be scrutinized.
