Scientists say the whole idea of God is rubbish. Yet, it is to God that they turn when science falls short of explaining the world. Of course, this doesn't prove the existence of God either, but it does show that humans, however intelligent and more advanced than apes they may be (and this is assuming Charles Darwin, who, ironically, was also only human, was correct in his theory of evolution), are still not intelligent and advanced enough to explain the world without having to turn to God. They never will be.
People always think of God as a person, or as a kind of all-powerful, all-knowing being in the skies above us. He is not. There is nothing in the sky but the birds and the clouds.
I think God is a metaphor. People have murdered millions in His name, fought wars and signed treaties. They have, as it were, reified religion. God isn't a thing, He isn't something or someone. You can't see Him and you can't touch Him. He's a metaphor in the common sense of the word. I mean, God is forgiveness, He is love, and He is the doing of good deeds. God is the little things - things like taking the garbage out for your mother, like being a good friend, like seeing the best in people. There isn't a God in the sky looking down on us, who is going to reward the good and punish the evil. Nobody is going to go to Heaven, or to Hell. Because for those who choose to poison their lives and turn down the wrong road there is no Hell more vile, and for those who do good and choose the right path there is no Heaven more sublime, than this life, here, now, in itself.
Jesus Christ was a messenger of God on earth, one of the chosen ones to whom divine knowledge and temperament were given. He is, at it were, an example in himself. But he cannot be the son of God if my speculation above is valid. If there is no real entity that is God, then He cannot have a son. Jesus was, therefore, a human being, concerned for the greater good of humanity, who was believed on a vast scale only years after his death. Other “chosen ones”, or prophets of God, were similar - all unusually prosocial, good natured and altruistic human beings; examples to be followed.
Life has a way of giving people what they deserve. Sometimes it works in strange ways. But it isn't God in the way you all think it is. It's a metaphor.
What goes around, comes around.
