Heidegger

I think this sums up my point of view, also written by Nikos Kazansakis, the Greek, in The Saviours of God. In my mind God is not an inescapable Deduction of the my Mind. At the most maybe a valid inference.

“My God is not All-holy. He is full of cruelty and savage justice, and he chooses the best mercilessly. He is without compassion; he does not trouble himself about men or animals; nor does he care for virtues and ideas. He loves all these things for a moment, then smashes them eternally and passes on. “

[There were four major species extinctions during the age of the Dinosaurs which lived on the earth during the Triassic, Jurrasic and Cretaceous eras.]

“He is a power that contains all things, that begets all things. He begets them, loves them, and destroys them. And if we say, “Our God is an erotic wind and shatters all bodies that he may drive on,” and if we remember that eros always works through blood and tears, destroying every individual without mercy - then we shall approach his dread face a little closer.”

[The heart has reasons which the Mind knows nothing about, or at least has no intervenor status]

“My God is not All-knowing. His brain is a tangled skein of light and darkness which he strives to unravel in the labyrinth of the flesh.”

[God was once a dinosaur who engulfed himself in a tiny enclosure, a smallish cranium, so that much of his intelligence would be redirected to his tail and claws, a Pteradactyl, where it’s prey trembled uselessly, since God had redirected his brains to govern claws on the outstretch wings]

“He stumbles and fumbles. He gropes to the right and turns back; swings to the left and sniffs the air. He struggles above chaos in anguish. Crawling, straining, groping for unnumbered centuries, he feels the muddy coils of his brain being slowly suffused with light…”
