"GOD" A Social Construct Or Misconception Of Reality by xcodedc(m): 6:20am On Aug 20, 2023
Over the years , with the great advancement in technology has come also large volume of data which in effect has greatly disrupted prior norms inclusive of religion. this has also brought about a shift in perspective of believers and opened up lost ancient history which were previously only accessible to few.


Within the past few years , I have transitioned from being a core believer to a non-believer. but neither of the positions had satisfied my spiritual quest for enlightenment placing me in a dilemma and resentment for both;
As a believer one had to espouse all the precept/doctrine of the given set to be approved a member, there is no freedom of thought nor disagreement with the doctrine as any thing in line of opposition is readily termed heresy, blasphemy, anti-christianity etc .

Where as on the other end of the spectrum "non-believer" one is left in denial of events or experiences beyond the available scope of scientific evidence and logical reasoning.

some attributes of GOD now in display by human/institution

SOVEREIGNTY/OMNIPOTENT (GOVERNMENT/ELITES)

According to oxford dictionary SOVEREIGNTY is defined as supreme power or authority . today governments, cooperations, big companies and group of elites have taken up this attribute and the masses can't do nothing .
where is God in the equation

KNOWLEDGE/OMNISCIENT

This attribute of God makes him an embodiment of knowledge accessible to the chosen/elect to whom he chose to reveal his secrets.

proverb 25:2 CEV

God is praised for being mysterious; rulers are praised for explaining mysteries.
today's world has evolved to a point where we are only a search away from any information about any subject thanks to search engine companies like Google, Quora, binge and most recently AI technologies
the question now is where is God in the equation or are these technology the new Gods??

OMNIPRESENCE/ INTERNET

religion evolved with the belief of God dwelling in a particular temple, altar or cathedrals to him being everywhere i.e a decentralized God,
today the internet is ever present to all from any place on the globe with the aid of a smartphone or any other internet enabled devices.

Have all the illusions or misconceptions about God been altered , what's going to be the fate of organized religion in the nearest future with exponential technologies as
biotechnology/DNA editing
space exploration
Bioengineering............

Brother, there is no enough evidence to reject the creator. It's more reasonable that a creator of our universe exists. No technology or whatsoever can nullify a creator. The invention of mankind is another evidence the creator exists.

Don't be fool by science!!! There are lot of lies on internet.
