I pledged my soul against racism a few months ago...

I will coldly, at a sub-zero temperature turn my shoulder to this topic. I won't promise to promote bullying against theists, but I will actively turn a blind eye to their plight. If one chooses to believe in a ridiculously misconstrued and primative concept of an overall sensible idea, I shall turn my back and show no mercy...

Am I to believe an entity such as the Biblical "God" is real. Am I to believe that I as a human being can understand such a being through scripture? Can such a being of such a vast existence portray itself accurately to me?

As a human being, I am made up of innumerable cells, each being its own living entity with its own function. Can a cell in a hair on my head understand my hopes and dreams? Can a white blood cell fighting infection understand concepts such as love and sadness?

An advanced entity such as the one jokingly portrayed as "the biblical God" is so far beyond that which mere humans can understand, it is not even worthwhile for us to try, as we have no chance...

At the same time, as a body for all such individual cells, do I fully understand the function of each one? Certainly not.

Perhaps we are the result of a God in the sense that our cells are the result of us, unaware of beings on lower levels, the same as of beings on higher levels.

Theism is not wrong, but innaccurate, flawed and primative in my opinion. We fear what we fail to understand. We fail to understand "God" and thus we "fear" God, basing sects of Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam and probably many more on this premise...

but we needn't think of fear. We know that a being in a higher plane of existence is something we are not advanced enough to understand... so why not leave it at that? Something greater than ourselves is out there, why must why try/claim to know more?

If or when we are able to transcend the state in which we currently reside, perhaps another piece of the puzzle will reveal itself...
