I am not doing this for anybody else. I am just doing it for my personal satisfaction. I had done the reading and the thinking. Now is to solidify my belief. Since there is no truth, I might as well invent my own belief and accept it as true. That's how belief in god was created anyway; someone decided to believe in his lie and convinced others to subscribe to it.
I don't know if they intentionally lied or they committed a Type 2 Error (believing something that is false) but whatever it is there is no absolute truth when comes to God. How can I miss the whole point all my life? My biggest flaw is I believe that the Quran is the words of God. So once I stop believing in such nonsense (due to the fact that there are glaring flaws in the Quran), it is easy for me to reject ALL religions as false.
It is much more difficult to accept there is no God though. There is no evidence on both sides of the arguments to suggest firmly the existence and nonexistence of God. But when Roger Schmidt stated that the whole book is not about truth but about usefulness, then I realized even he cannot pinpoint the issue. It is further confirmed when the explanations of the Holy were based on anecdotes rather than empirical evidence.
This is a very serious commitment on my side. By declaring I am God, I am opening myself to criticism. As I said I am only saying that I am God not because I believe in God but rather because I am going for the highest form of self-actualization. Beyond Self is the Super Ego. Beyond I is the Big I. That's what it is. Beyond me as the mere mortal is me as Man Fully Functioning. Beyond me as the Beneficiary is me the Benefactor. I am now shifting from merely a consumer to become a co-creator.
Will I then be burned in hell for committing blasphemy? I highly doubt it. I have very clear proofs that there are errors in the scriptures. So if I am to be condemned for eternal damnation for not believing in a superlative, then I will also stake my claims on those who misguide the masses with false assertions stated in the scriptures.
I don't even think hell exists. These are part of the false beliefs people made up to scare the masses to conform. All you need to do is take time to read these scriptures and decide for yourself. Of course when you rely on the clergies, the stories are different. That's because they will tell you those things from their perspectives. It could be due to ignorance or intention to deceive. Only they know their motives. But if we do our own investigation direct from the scriptures themselves, then we will see the truth as what it is. That is if you are inquisitive enough. The main issue here is most people are lazy thinkers and willing to accept anything told to them as truth. I call this the Believing Mind.
For a very long time I was a believer. Therefore I completely shut off the possibility of not believing. Because I have a tendency to believe, I rationalized those things I believe as true. The truth is there is no Absolute Truth. I used to believe that mathematics is the truth. Recently I found out that even math is not true. For example, I found out that a parallel line will eventually converge.
In projective geometry, any pair of lines always intersects at some point, but parallel lines do not intersect in the real plane. The line at infinity is added to the real plane. This completes the plane, because now parallel lines intersect at a point which lies on the line at infinity.
At a glance this may seem like a plausible explanation. Unfortunately infinity is a concept created to deal with numbers that are too big or too small. Infinity does not exist in nature. Thus even math is a lie. Maybe saying something a lie is too harsh. So I just say that those things we regard as truth are a matter of different perspective.
Whilst there are so many perspective out there that say God is truth, I am here asserting that God is nothing more than the figment of our imagination. Hence I decided to rev my imagination and say I am my own God. In the past there are Sufi Masters who claimed that they were gods and as a result they were slained by the authorities for what they believe. I am just continuing the legacy here. Does it make any difference to others? I don't think so. However it [] (does) make a difference to me. Within my own realm I govern my universe autonomously.
