this is about god and G-d

i cannot understand G-d. no one can. no one can understand G-d. i cannot, you cannot, understand G-d. this does not mean that we cannot know G-d, but we cannot understand him, at least not in a complete sense. we cannot understand G-d. since we cannot understand G-d, we try to explain him, explain the parts about him that we don't get. our kind seems to have this need to know everything. but our best explanation's of G-d fall short. our definition of who and what G-d is isn't that great. we then reject the god we have created, and in doing so, reject the true G-d without ever having knowing him, and most certainly without having understood him. if we really knew G-d, we'd know we couldn't understand him entirely. so many people in this world bitterly hate G-d because the god they know is weak and fake, not the true G-d who is far too vast to be explained away.

"evil me, yeah i know"

i keep listening to the song "bukowski" by modest mouse. for a few years i wouldn't listen to that song because it bashes G-d. now i can't stop listening to it. it's a great song, a song that embodies a common feeling about G-d. that he's an asshole and a control freak. things that make sense and seem true, heck are true, if you believe in the god that is explainable. however, this is not the G-d of Abraham, of the jews of old, of Jesus Christ, Paul, the anabaptists, or me for that matter. that kind of god is fake and easy, G-d is neither.

i'd like to invite you to examine your G-d, and see if it's the image of the G-d who is in the bible, who could do such great things. who is real.
