Throughout your life, your family, teachers, or peer you’ve been playing with, have been persuading you to follow a certain set of beliefs called religion, at the head of each is placed a supreme being called God.
Different people gave him various names such as Yahweh, Parmatma depending on which religion their parents belonged to.
You have also been told that God created this world and you have to follow the guidelines that he outlined in the forms of several books like the Bible, Talmud, Quran, etc.
But have you realized that you spent all the thinking phase of your life following an unseen deity, without even thinking!
Bravo! You shall all go to heaven.
Yet have you ever thought what if God is not the creator but a creation of saints who wanted to justify the books they associated with his name? Or maybe he exists. But are you sure that God is a patriarch and not a matriarch deity?
Ok, let’s converge into the point that God exists with all the omnipotence and masculinity. But think, for instance, hasn’t God been playing with us humans throughout the course of history?
Why God created humans? And religions? And races? God could make one religion if the ultimate purpose was to worship him. But perhaps, it was not the sole purpose as he divided humanity into races, color, and religion triggering an inherent conflict that unleashed an unending struggle for dominance.

Understandably, these were reasons good enough to indulge in all sorts of fights to claim superiority by bearing their god’s standard higher than others.
Even more interestingly, he gave man the faculty of free-will and attached it with self-restraint. He created man with carnal pleasures and defined them sinful too. All sorts of paradoxes in one of the tiniest part of the universe called Earth.
You’re between the devil and the deep blue sea!
Even if God doesn’t play with humans, he tests them anyway, and this test is so persevering that few are able to pass through the screening phase. Primarily, there are two kinds of people in the world; the one who is living this world as an end in itself; while the others who are living this life as a passing phase for another stable life.
In each case, man is enticed by external forces!
For those who believe in this world only, are lured by the pleasures of the world as they crave for money, the immovable possession, and women.
The religious men, however, tend to refrain from these carnal pleasures. But the most paradoxical part is that they are promised the same kinds of pleasures into heaven.
So, the divine paradox is beyond the reach of the intellect of a human mind.
Has God been misinterpreted?
Or maybe, God has not been playing with his creation at all and it is just due to our misinterpretation of his message that leads to confusion between the mortal mind with an eternal soul.
Maybe humans made their creator more remote through the divisions of religions; and in doing so, they also left unbridgeable gaps between themselves too.
Perhaps, it is time to find God without the intercession of religions in a more speedy and direct way to know his purpose of creating the world. Probably, he never intended such division as the world has been witnessing through ages.
