Everyone has a god. There is not a sane person on earth who doesn't believe in one. The question is only which one...
Your "god" is the thing that you believe to be infallible: you trust in its power despite any evidence to the contrary; you believe it will always be there, cannot be defeated, is all-powerful & omnipresent. It is the thing you can fall back on no matter what. The bedrock of your life - whatever that may be - that is your god.
Everyone has a god. The question is only which one. If you think science has all the answers,& that something is only true if it is scientifically proven, then science is your god. And belief in science can be as irrational as any religious conviction. Its adherents blindly accept the most outlandish theory, as long as it was presented by an expert in the field.
Science is only one common god. Another one is love. Believers in love make lofty statements about its divine qualities: "Love conquers all", "Love is forever", "All you need is love", "Love is the only thing worth dying for." Even though experience has shown that love is not all you need, & it certainly doesn't conquer all, their faith is not shaken.
Others worship money. "Everything has a price" is their creed. And no matter how many miserable millionaires they meet, their god remains infallible, & they continue to have faith in money as the source of all goodness & happiness.
A very popular modern god is self. "Believe in yourself. You are capable of anything. If you put your mind to it, there's nothing you can't do." Nothing you can't do? Sounds pretty divine. A pity it's not true. We have limitations. There are things that are simply beyond our capability. But to the believer, no evidence will move his faith in himself.
It is such a relief to just let G-d be G-d. If G-d is G-d, I can be human. I am not G-d. Nothing about me is infallible … not my feelings, not my intelligence … certainly not the balances in my life. I don't have to be perfect. G-d does a good job of that.
Science, love, money & self are all very important. But they are also fickle, ever-changing, & unpredictable. The G-d of Israel has not changed. If anyone or anything should be god, it is G-d.
G-d Bless
J

J--
This is powerful. It takes a lot of pressure off to let G-d be G-d and realize we are human beings who can rely on our perfect G-d. I don't know of any god who is as unfailing and perfect as our G-d. Thank you for that reminder.
Let me ask something regarding the statement, "everyone has a god." Do you think atheism is possible?
The complexity of your mind is astounding. Very well written. It would be interesting to know what your response will be to to the question above; "Do you think atheism is possible" by CaitlinMarie. G-d be with you always.
Another great entry and needed out here. We need reminders; we need to know that we can count on our G-d. Seeing what we see every day has made some of the guys lose their faith. I believe that you can help them. Thanks and G-d bless you.
I would also like to see what you say on "Do you think atheism is possible?" Looking forward to a response.
Great blog J. It's going to be great to see your response to CaitlinMarie's question. :) Have a good one. :)

Powerful and well written. Thanks for sharing.

Science has no answers. Love is not always enough. Most times money is the root of evil. Vanity can lead to self-destruction. There is only one G-d. The G-d of Israel and he is infallible.He is the King of the Universe, Creator of all things. He always was, is and will be. Well written.
