~Holy Perspectives

The father, son and holy spirit....


ok, what if it's -

"God" is your father. Your actual father. (father/mother - interchangable)
"God" is your son. Your actual son. (son/daughter - interchangable)
"God" is your spirit. YOU.


What if when you thank God, you're thanking your dad? What if when you "blame" God, you're blaming your Dad? What if you're thanking your son? Blaming your son? What if "the holy spirit" knows and sees everything you do... because it is you?


What if "God" is actually just our parents, our children, and ourselves?

Can you forgive yourself?


What if you had to answer to your children? What if to abuse your child is to spit in the face of God?


twist and turn....

now define the "devil"...


It's a whole hell of a lot easier to think that "God" or "Satan" is just another entity, isn't it? ...a whole hell of a lot more difficult when "God" is right there in your face.


I think that when most people "externalize" God, they don't see him as so much of a parent figure... they view God as more like the "perfect" human. If people had to think of their father as "GOD" (which we actually do before we're taught religion), and themselves as "GOD" and their children as "GOD", I think that it'd be a lot less easy to judge others. You couldn't look at someone and tell them they're not following God's law... because everyone's law would be different. Every God's law would be different.

Same can be said for internalizing God. When you do that, you tend to look down on others... detach from them.

If every "family" was a kingdom in and of itself... a "holy trinity"... I think that we'd tend to "mind our own business" more... that we'd judge a lot less and only come to the rescue when called.

I'd think that a lot of things like child abuse, elder abuse, neglect, and insecurity/low self esteem could be tackled a lot easier if people interpretted the trinity like this.

Can you imagine how people would react if all of a sudden it wasn't "my kid is gay" but "God is gay"?


If you were God, do you think you'd have anything akin to Social Anxiety Disorder?
