Godless Times

Although the universe is vast and seemingly limitless, it is still too small for its ruler. After god filled the universe with life for his own amusement, he often felt a certain kind of emptiness like a lone child yearning for some attention. The Greeks wrote the mythology of the gods or so what they thought about celestial beings at that time. They compared him to Zeus who as the king of the gods created man for their love to feed the immortality of his kind. God think they are not too far from the reality for he has created the beings that surround him to hasten the passing of time for eternity seems painful.

The idea of a higher being came about when humankind was not able to grasp a part of their existence. They always felt that something divine is at work whenever a notable event happened in their lives. Anything that cannot be explained during their time was always pointed to god. Believed to be all knowing and the architect of everything, man was wrong to assume that god intervened with their daily lives. He made many things, tried to see the effects of mixing elements and events every once in a while in a century and let man take credit for it but that was it. God only watched most of the time and let man’s own free will evolve and discover the things he already put in place for them. Whenever they falter, he lets nature’s wrath bring out the best in them. Terrorism is man’s own doing, they give in too easily in the devil that god unleashed to balance their existence.

God watched the things he created to grow, humankind most of all. It eased the pain inside him for millions of millennia but a few centuries ago, he felt the emotion well up inside him from the capacity of humans to love, hate and destroy the things around them. Some wished to freeze time during their happiest moments and there are those who do not want to let go of the thing that reminded them of that happiness while in deep sorrow. Then it occurred to him, why not take a moment from eternity and live it.

God made sure that there is enough advancement in the future millennia for the inhabitants of the universe to discover. Since then, he has lived a few lives. God was once rich then poor the next. He was even a popular persona in history and discovered a few of the greatest ideas he set through the course of human evolution.

In this lifetime, god chose to be born in a common society. He does not have any recollection of who he was or what he is. God have equipped himself with whit and absurd thinking from what is norm so that he has an interest in life itself to avoid taking it and most especially be intrigued by death. He has problems the same problems as his neighbours. He comes from a family that stands united when the skies are clear and breaks easily on a gust of wind. He may have suffered abuse as a child but survived it by picking the right friends. God made sure he is brilliant but with scarce resources, to be easily tempted but knows when and how to get out, to achieve his dream in such an early age and yet struggle to keep it. He has a family of his own that shares his dream and reflects his ideals. He is as much as anyone who rides public transport on their way to work, spends time with their family on weekends, loves street foods, and enjoys the free treats that life has to offer.

What if this is the truth and these are Godless times? How will you respond with the idea of knowing or having met god?

I hope I am wrong for I fear of living inside my own idea and that no one I love will survive my immortality.
