We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Was he only a scientist in his maximum capacity of understanding stating this truth; or was it his pursue of reality? What humans do not realize is that we are just human. If you were to ask anyone, family, friends, people from the same church, masque, or temple, to define God for you, the definitions would greatly vary. Everyone understands matters in their capacity of thoughts, experience, and the gathered information in relation to its interaction with life. In simpler terms, we create things the way we want them to be. The rapture of thoughts keeps human sane for creation of their imagination; and it is our imaginations that form the basis of our goals.
I am going to use Socrates method to elaborate further. Simple question, do you think we created God or God has created us? Before you get sensitive about that question and call me a devil worshiping denier, think about it. As humans we can only use up to 10% of our brain. We can only see at a 20/20 vision. We can only hear certain frequency of sounds. We can only touch in our reach. Every day we use these limitations and many more to define an infinite being that is beyond our limitations. In result, we are lowering the almighty God in to such small standards, so we can interact with it much easier. Thus, we have created a God that best secures our thoughts, imaginations, desires, wants and needs; but in reality that is not the Almighty God that has created this universe. People use this limitation called God to created and take advantage of the FEAR that exist within any being.
Belief was introduced to us by Prophet Noah, that there is a God out there. Abraham believed in that belief and thought us sacrifice. Faith was brought by Prophet Moses in his people when he walked across that ocean and rescued mankind from their miseries of believing in Gods of limitations. Jesus, with his pureness showed us how to clines ourselves from these limitations and become a Messiah. Prophet Mohammad showed us that if you believe, strengthen your faith, and clines yourself from these limitations, you can submit yourself to God and become a Muslim (Submitted to his greatness).
So the second question, which one of the Jews really have faith, which one of the Christians are really purified, or which Muslim ever submitted himself to the greatness of God. They all sure did have faith, did clines and submit themselves, but not to God, to their thoughts, imaginations, wishes, desires, and needs. They only reached the maximum limitation of their being and stood strong, in belief and fear of Heaven and Hell. Today we kill in those names, we kill because of those limitations, and we fear people of it, so we can pursue those limitations. I believe this well defines Hell and a life without these limitations, shines a light upon the reality within every one of us best described as heaven.
Last question, do you think if Prophet Mohammad, Jesus, Mosses, Noah, Abraham, and everyone else sat at the same table, would they disagree with each other, or would they all say God? Then why is it, that us humans disagree and disturb each other because of it and limit such mighty power within walls, stones, waters, and thoughts which are all manmade. So the Gods that we have created have only one saying, “Show Me the Money.” Before God we are all equally wise – and equally foolish. Albert Einstein
