I never really thought about god (in the generic sense) thoroughly all this while. But just now I was wondering why do we worship him/her(?). It's like if I worship him for security then am I not using him as a means to an end? Doesn't it make god instrumental in that sense? And because he's so omnipotent, why should he take all this shit from me? More importantly, because he's so omnipotent, who am I to treat him so?
So the counterargument goes: If I worship god for his own sake, then I should not ask anything of him. But I still do. So doesn't that make me that much more fucked up? Knowing and still doing it. I try to tell myself that whatever happens happens for a reason and that reason is his to know. But I'm still insecure about life and its frailties which makes me ask him for greater security. How how how how how?

Heh just so you know, I refer to god in the generic sense...as in any form of divinity. Anyway I tend to think of god as being formless but always present nevertheless. I dare not put a face to them for images tend to reflect ourselves. Sacrosanct imo. And I don't wanna be a pompous bastard to think that I do so.
Anyway glad that you enjoy my musings though. Yours ain't shabby either. ;D
