A Benevolent gOD?

gOD cannot exist as a BENEVOLENT gOD. gOD can only exist in the theistic sense that gOD created everything then took a smoke break. This is the only logical belief in gOD : gOD created it, and went away, he is either A. NOT benevolent but he is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. B. Is benevolent, but is not omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.

The problem with all major religions is that they force all "perfectionist qualities" on gOD. Which frankly is not true. In this case, another gOD figure that would make sense is the Hindu Shiva gOD. All things are gOD, and all things in the universe are equally holy and sacred.

But that is pretty much a load of bullshit as there is no evidence to support it, neither is there evidence to support being Atheist. I believe there is no THING that can lead to being atheist, unless mankind were to completely document the entire universe somehow, and find no existence of gOD.

Until then, I suspend my judgment and force myself to believe that the universe has always been, and always will be; that I have no knowledge of whether gOD is real or not, and that I am simply seeking.

 

My thoughts, what are yours?

My thinking is that whenever an individual trusts an entity (be it well defined or poorly defined)to an extreme, they have created a deity out of it/them.

To the believer, God is good and benevolent and all evil will be suppressed to those who pray to Him.
