God Created Man In His Own Image?

We have known it from many sacred books that God has created man in His image. The theologians say it, the preachers preach it. When these people say this, they must be knowing fully well about the true image of god, not that they have seen it. What is it? Pretty or ugly? But I know for sure that man’s true image is not pretty but pretty ugly. I have seen it in so many times and in so many faces. And you know face is the index of mind. That is, man is pretty ugly in both faces and minds or for that matter in body and soul. Does it hurt you? But I just cannot help it. It is etched on my mind and it is evidently vivid in my mind's eye. And again I tell you I cannot help it even it hurts you. It is ugly, one hundred times ugly and even more than it.. Even more ugly thanI imagine.. It is beastly ugly, to say the least. So, what could be the god’s image? Of course, it is ugly. It is not holier than thou as we are led to believe. As we believe and blindly we believe, so we do not see it ugly or rather we do not want it so. But when we see the faces of man? What is it? Beastly ugly as we see it in our naked eyes. So, what can be the faces of God when he created him in his own image? You think and imagine in your mind and in your mind's eye. Mightbe, you will be able to get to the truth. You know truth is where light is.

So, what is the truth. Let us try to explore some truth. Yes, some truth only. As the God created man in his own image, so man created God in his ideas. Without knowing the natural laws of the world, man had no other alternative than to create his own belief system to cope with the situation. Initially man had no idea about the science of cause and effect, he relied mainly on his belief in supernatural power which was supposed to act as the prime mover of the worldly phenomena. He also enjoyed no power to stand on his own leg. So, for all the plights and all the rages he confronted in his life, he prayed for the blessings of that supernatural power. That supernatural power was the be all and end all in his belief system. But who had enjoyed that supernatural power? Who or what was the prime mover? There must be someone who enjoyed that exclusive or absolute power. There must be someone who assumed office of authority for all that. He had no other idea but that idea to believe and blindly believe in all this. He believed that someone was the prime mover. And that prime mover was God whom he created in his idea, in his belief system.

Oh, Alas! the exploration of truth has dragged us into a quagmire. That quagmire is blind belief. But blind belief can never be a scientific truth or any other kind of truth. Truth is no belief or belief is no truth. Truth is truth and belief is belief. The twain sometimes meet each other but that is very rare. If you do not want to know the truth, you live with your belief and belief is almost always blind, stone blind.

So you believe that God created man in His own image. It is your belief but it is not truth. Amen!
