If the state dispenses justice
Both to punish actions against others
For the survival of its people
And against the state
For the survival of the state
Then who dispenses judgement
Against those in power
In which they have no one above them
And their actions are left un-checked?
There then lies a place for a God
«Funny enough, george washington simply split the state in parts»
If a man gains power
Over others
And dispenses his power through edicts
By what right should he have this?
If he is just a man, but stands above others?
He cannot be equal in every way
For if he was, why grant him unequal ability?
Unless he was ordained
There then lies a place for a God
Now what if we commit a crime
And no-one ever finds out?
In the history if man
For sure theres been crimes un-found
And unpunished
Who will ever punish such a man
For a crime committed Yet not seen
There in lies a place for a God
And if a man finds that the Universe has rules
That we operate in them
And that fairness is a by-gone figment
Only found in the mind
Where should he find refuge?
There in lies a place for a God
And if we need a standard bearer
To guide us in Truth
If we find that life is better lived in Honesty
But our surrounding is filled with fake idols
And those that gained only through deceit
But we wish to be Better
For we realize to be Good is Good
Who could possibly be our Guide
When all others are flawed?
There in lies a place for God
Now what if this God that judges
And gives judgements so harsh,
Equating to the wrongness of our crimes
And grants ever lasting happiness
Magnitudes greater than our actions
With this great power
He would have our Respect and adoration
Now what if this God wasn’t even real?
What if the Judgements we receive are the laws of the Universe
That our Actions have consequences
Even if not-found
Then where is the place for God?
My thought on this issue is thus:
If the judgements of the Universe
That usurp those of our laws stand above them
Wherein our laws simply attempt to reflect them
Albeit poorly
Are simply encoded in the Universe
And our own bodily reaction to the Good
Is a natural law
And the Bad
Also a reaction
And these rules figured out by Sages
And Prophets
Encoded in books as edicts or Guides
Associated to a God
But are merely Universal Codes
You see if these Judgements are rules
And responses of the Universe
Higher order functions of elaborate concepts like Good and Bad
Where Newton found laws of Mechanics
Then Prophets found Higher Order Laws or Concepts such as Love and Evil
Who encoded these laws?
If the Universe has a Creator God,
Then even if these rules arent “dispensed” individually upon each action or tallied
But simply are automated reactions to actions
Then was it not God who wrote them? So then we are judged
But what if there is no Creator
And these rules were always present
In an eternal Universe
You push on this block it falls
And you commit a crime you feel it
Then there is still a Judge
And a Power above us
Whatever way you look at it.
There in lies a place for a God
Not just a Creator of the Universe
But Laws that we interact with every Day
One interesting one I found recently:
Are bodies react instantly to what we do, what we think, our environment
Just look at the Neck of a Programmer
The Eyes of an iPad kid
And the belly of a Beer drinker
Or The heart of someone loved
