So I find myself questioning something. Even though I often question if god even exists to begin with but I do find myself questioning if he does exist I sometimes think that we could be seeing him everyday. We could have met him and we didn't even know it. I'm going to quote a famous song "what if god was one of us?" He could be a homeless person trying to see if people are generous enough to give him or her spare change. Or she could be a politician trying to see who will follow her on blind faith. Or even a pastor preaching her words of wisdom upon us. she could be anyone and we would be none the wiser. She could be anyone.
I watch super natural so I have a pretty screwed up view on religion. In supernatural the angel Castile becomes God at one point. But he doesn't change like being possessed does to a person. He simply knows that he has all gods powers. So this makes my wonder. Could god do that. Could she give up her powers to a mortal like in "Bruce all mighty" could God be a human. God could be living in a crappy apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan and be a bar tender the local bar. My question is how could a God look at our world that he so called " created" and see all the things that go on. All the wars over stupid imaginary lines and people getting killed everyday over the color of there skin or the people they choose to love. How could a God look at this world and not fix it with a wave of his have? If I had the ability to change the world and make everyone love each other and not fight I would. What I don't understand is that people are hating other people and killing other people over a book that they say says that they should be killed or hated.
If you are hating someone or killing people based on your religion than you are doing it wrong.
I lived a day in someone elses shows and I tell you it was an eye opener. I lived 24 hours wearing a hijab. Being in a hijab taught me how to ignore what people think, but it also taught me to notice it. I live in a vey controversial area where we don't take kindly to outsiders, and me wearing a hijab raised some red flags. People looked at me strange and people would openly stare and look at me. I honestly looked like they were silently condemning me. I actually walked into a restaurant and a man blatantly looked at me and then did a double take to make sure he knew what he was seeing. I had many stares and some people walked into a restaurant I was in and took one look at me turned around and walk out saying under there breath "I'm not going to risk sitting in a restaurant with a Muslim." honestly the nerve of some people.
Although I may have chosen an inopportune time to do this social experiment. I did my experiment the day before and a little bit the day of 9/11. So I may have bad timing but the experiment held true.
