God believes we misunderstand him, and we do to an extent. We created religion, and within our own greed for power we decided to control one another and have gone off track of what he wanted us to do, which is learn from each other and to help one another in the process. But then He spoke in order to give us some direction. So then it was written down, but there were those who decided to use those words against us in order to better themselves. Although the bible is a book of some truth, it is mostly stories to convince you of the truth. And while those stories have you captivated and your interest is peaked, it tells you other stories to control you. So now that book has you not only believing it, but now it has you in fear of it. It's the perfect novel ever written by MAN, to an extent. No one on earth has any real control over you, The only control of you is by God Himself, You are born by him, you live by him, you die by him. He sets you on your path and you live it, but he also gave you free will. With that you can deviate from your path, of which is still part of your path, but not your purpose. Your purpose is to help others, not just yourself. We are all here to help others. But again greed and power have changed the idea of what he wanted for us. He wants so much more for us, but we have yet to learn this lesson, As you can tell by our own faults we have not achieved the ultimate goal. But you can also tell by the bible itself that although there were some good intentions, the wrong ones didn't work out so good either, By most of the accounts that are written and taught, we as people have yet to live souly by that book and continue to stray further and further away from it. All of which is back to what the original idea was that He wanted us to do in the first place, which is live our lives trying to better our situation for all of us and not just one for as it is, All is one and One is all. God does not want us sitting in church all day worshiping him, when in turn we'd be worshiping ourselves beings that since God created us from a part of him, our divine soul. What he wants is for us to be out in the world, living, learning and helping each other.
