Essay: "God"

by Illinois III Barconey
I learned the greatest lesson one must know, called mother-wit. As early as being nurtured by both grandparents, they taught me to love everyone, share with anyone and be kind and nice to all. The most important of all, seeking knowledge and getting an education was repeatedly instilled in my mind.

The "God Concept" was forced upon me right before my teen years. This ideology confused my thought process. I was already aware of God's commandments and His purpose for humanity. Going to church on Sunday became routine for me. After several years of congregational worship, I began to notice and hear things that were not in accord with God's intentions for creating mankind.

Secular man seems more inept on acquiring supreme knowledge equal to that of God; which, is impossible. Many of us possess different logic, ideologies, concepts, and have our own theory of what God is. Since the beginning of modern civilization we must admit a power greater than man controls secrets and answers that astound our experts. Yet, still we spend billions on research to satisfy our thirst for more knowledge. We ignore the plight of starving children, neglected elders and diseased countries all over the world. Knowing all this exists we still boast as being the best and most powerful country in the world. God to me is real true love, caring, mercy, blessings, understanding and sharing. To create mockery of God's word causes turmoil on a massive scale. There has been great many great many minds evolved in evolution of man. Many men who possess these great minds were silenced, even murdered in the name of God and justice. God's law is still supreme law of the land. God give it and take it. God knows all, sees all, and hears all. God knows all our secret heart desires, whether sinister or deceitful. God sees all we do in the dark and behind closed doors. God hears all our evil intentions and diabolical schemes. God resents any natural substances or man-made commodity being used as graven images. God's wrath and vengeance is far greater than any destruction man could possibly imagine. God's message and commandment is simple to execute. It's a tragedy for man to fall in love with another master other than God, and still preach words of loving God, also. When we serve two masters and fall prey to worldly objects allowing what God cause to control our lustful desires, the whole world will succumb into disarray. In our present time of war, violence and global destruction, the same God is God for us all. To propagate one religious belief and condemn others is having no trust and respect for God. There are many of us that love humanity as one big family. We appreciate the simple things nature has to offer. We humble our minds, bodies, and souls at the occurrence of inequality and injustice. One important lesson we learned from our parents of old; the soul is the substance that keeps our minds healthy and free of evil thoughts. God will never abandon us as man has done.
