God Is No Mystery

I don’t know what god Abrahamic believers believe in, but it sure as hell ain’t the God of their scriptures. There’s no need to go any further than God’s omnipresence. That omnipresence which is repeatedly mentioned in Tanakh. That omnipresence which is touted as such by all, but especially Christian, believers. That omnipresence which, if correctly understood and known, inevitably implies omnipotence and omniscience (or better said omni-informedness).

Just try to follow through with omnipresence and you are immediately eligible for excommunication at best, beheading, burning at stake, or being stoned (not the good kind, though) at worst.

Sure, theological interpretations of all Abrahamic traditions explain omnipresence away as transcendence and immanence. However, transcendent and immanent god clearly cannot be omnipotent while also accounting for free will. But while Judaic, Christian, and Muslim believers alike would disagree and call it all a mystery, I call it bullshit.

God that is truly everywhere, including your free will, is, no doubt, omnipotent. There’s nothing mysterious or mind-boggling about it. Then again, the implications and resulting responsibility are for most people a cross too heavy to bear, even though it’s simultaneously the only source of absolute freedom.

Ironically, clinging of masses to this “mystery” was also one of the reasons why Jesus ended on a cross.

Well, whatever … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
