The life of God is pretty well documented. Their stories are of someone who didn’t behave the way you and I would when faced with adversity. Essentially they teach the readers to practice enormous willpower, strength, patience, courage amongst many such qualities.
If I come across something amazing, I’ll hype it up a little more when I spread the word. The next person who hears my version probably adds a bit more. Eventually the final story is just a super glorified version of the original.
Imagine what happened to the stories of the Gods over thousands of years and millions of people’s interpretations and hype. So was God just really someone between us? Maybe years from now, people like Ghandi might end up being worshiped in temples.

Hey anna,
My first // on you blog..
while i was sittin joblessly at work I googled periferral and guess what ?? I come across this very well written intresting blog…never knew you were a blog freak ..
Anyway,This particular article of yours actually got me thinking as to whether God really exists ??..But then how do you explain about all the miracles and supernatural phenomenon that keeps occuring every now and then ??..what abt the guy who eats raw chicken during the KOLA thing…it’s even insane for a sober mind to do such an act.or predict most of the things that accurate.??
Hence I personally feel that HE does exists and the only way to find out is “BELIEF”…

Specifically what miracles/supernatural things? Why does a person who is in a coma wake up when doctors have lost all hope? Don’t know. Clearly science hasn’t advanced enough where these things can be defined. The human body/mind is astonishing, capable of far more than medicine can define. For example, we clearly know that placebos work just as well as medicine proving that the mind can heal.
As for KOLA and stuff, my belief is that its all an act. People will do strange things for money. Anyway, definitely something to look at as an alternate theory.

Yep..I truly agree with the fact the human mind can do wonders .As far as the supernatural/miracle thing goes ..what’s our take on spirits ??..cuz i believe they exists ..and if there is evil ,there must be good ..and for most ppl these points to God,since everything in this world is balanced.
Anyways this is one topic that is very hard to conclude and I guess this can only be found out as time goes by,and science advances.
P.S: Check out this temple in Rajasthan,my roomie visited this place and still gets goosebumps just thinking abt it .He saw like hundreds of ppl who were possesed,making weird noises and didnt dare to step in after that.
