would you want there to be a god

[themnax]

if you could have anything you wanted, would you want there to be a god?
would you want to be one?

when i was between the ages of 4 and 11 i would have answered yes to both questions.

somewhere in my mid 20s though, i came to realize i would be just as happy living in the kind of world i'd rather be living in, whether i had anything to do with it comming about or not. and even i were to be living a very low status life in it.

i would not wish to cause anything positive and good that exists to stop existing. but i don't feel an emotional need for hierarchies to exist.

Hierachies do exist and are an integral part of reality, in my opinion.
The term God is just another human concept developed in response to attempts to try and understand this reality that exists.

I believe we already have everything we want as we exist as a part of the overall existence of all. If we are an interdependant part of the whole (and we are), we are that whole. ......Although most don't know that they have everything they need, so they postulate a god or gods seperate from their egotic existence.

Im unsure about "god" in the first place and im not really believing/understanding the exsistance of such a thing. That being said, i think if the wasn't a "god" we would have less wars and feuds in genral. But the way the world is wouldn't be affected other than that, in my opinion. It seems that people have to be grounded to some religion, so i think it would be interesting to see what the next thing humans would cling to would be. and no, i wouldn't want to be a "god" myself.

(to the OP) depends on what you mean when you say god......

i believe gods/religions get in the way of many things but when i was little, it felt safe to believe in god but now that im older, whatever happens after death happens. life cant always be safe
