Often time it is said that we will never fully understand the concept of God, as He is too complex for us to fathom. It seems to be a reoccurring argument that God is the greatest that anything could be, and yet he seems to have not given his children the ability to fully grasp his understanding.

Consider our own offspring and the infamous question "Where do baby's come from?" As parents, or even society, we provide as complete of an overview of the process as possible. It is until the question develops to "Where did we all come from?" do we stutter and offer, at best, ideas that we may have concocted. I believe that any parent, if infused with the answer, would provide the details to their children. However, humans have apparently been denied the possibility to completely understand God's existence. Furthermore, there seems to be the same disability for God to provide us with answers as we have as parents, mentors, as beings.

This raises a question in my mind regarding the omnipotence of God. Clearly there is limitation to his power and flaws to his character. The flaws are perhaps most clearly visible when we consider our own lacking. Why should we be created in a way that is unable to understand our own creation? Was this beyond His limitations, or is He perhaps feel that we are unworthy of this gift? Does he value himself so highly as to deny us the ability to love Him in the same way we love our family? I feel that either of those points suggest that the traditional God of the western world is in fact not perfect, but shares the same concept of vanity, pride or at least the limitations of creation.

On the other hand, perhaps He is neither vain nor proud. Perhaps he understands, much like any other parent, that one day the child will grow up and need to leave its home. Maybe He understands the pain and discomfort associated with fending for oneself and in turn realizes that it may be best for us not to know of his existence. Perhaps we were given free will, and the lack of understanding as a symbol of our release.

Obviously, both of these ideas can derive others along those same lines. To me it seems apparent that in order for the Creator to be free of flaw, there must be no demand of allegiance or sacrifice. However, it is also simple to consider that if God does wish us worship him in a neutral way, there was clearly a design flaw to make us unable to comprehend his existence fully.

There is, however another idea, which may rest slightly better with many, but still stir the feathers of those whom have dedicated their life to faith and unquestionable belief. That idea, unfortunately, will be left for another day.

Words

I can not find the words describe
Some the stories I imbibe.
The meaning I assume imply
They were my doing - not a lie.
Other tasks have long been told.
Words of fiction typed in bold.
Padded, to be dipped in gold.
Not to me have they been sold.
Times not forced to be recapped
Yet in mind, living trapped.
Memories which have been mapped
The truest ones, selfishly kept.
