musings of infidel

Have been planning to have a new place exclusively for random writings, musings, blabbering etc. it's essentially an urge to write as myself, unlike fiction (or fiction of fiction) where the character becomes another little being.
Interesting thought- did god create us just as we create all these words and stories and verses and the so-called non fiction? never realising where this new being will end up, how will this play out.
Einstein thought god didn't play dice, Stephen Hawkins thinks he does, so did Heisenberg, not that the speculation matters in the end, we all end up at same place- some have better idea on why, some don't or maybe the latter are humble enough to admit, does he play dice with no rules decided beforehand, a game to be established when it's already over? not much unlike our lives i guess..
Many think god does not exist, many more know that he (or she, to be politically correct) exists and speaks to chosen few, and for so long that they write books out of it. why were the chosen few the chosen few? this becomes really baffling when chosen few tell us that everything is predestined...maybe these were chosen as they had the patience to listen to millions of verses and the ability to remember all of it after the ordeal, correction- revelation.
or maybe ability to remember that others didn't have either of it and they are more likely to believe him/her than listening to it for themselves.( another question-the mode is like a radio or a phone call, what are the chances of getting on the wrong line? many questions in fact)
in any case, if one remembers this, and it's very likely given their enormous power in this regard, it's easy to see what will happen next, some will believe, some would not, some will resist, most will not be bothered until such time that the story becomes a legend, people start believing just because they've heard it ever so often, and because its novelty..
one such a leader has enough people, he can start saying we are better, and eventually that others are worse, they don't deserve their place in society, their money, their life indeed..
if the leader says it often enough, forcefully enough, we will have people on the sidelines joining in, thus starts a cult..not necessarily on same principles as what the god told the preacher..
the religion in individual capacity is very different in it's nature from the religion we profess en-masse..
did god want this? did he not? maybe i leave it to another day coz it's time to catch grub, watch TV, read a book, wait till a brand new day comes with all its banality and nothingness..
runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...
