God Mentality

I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.
– Albert Einstein

As quoted by the master physicist himself, God is not one for play. In fact, should we consider a divine being to consider taking chances knowing He is all-knowledgable?

Many people consider the divine to have superior powers and intellect, immortality and the power to rip worlds asunder. Yet many are disappointed when God fails to act, to do the most humanly thing possible of doing.

My question is, for what?

People think as if gods should also act like humans, to have compassion and hatred, to have feelings and emotions. Scientifically, these thoughts are stimulated by enzymes and electric synapses in the nervous system, all of which exist to support the flow of an organic body of mass that needs to feed, sleep, and reproduce once age begins to take its toll, often driven by a promise of earthly pleasures.

A godly being would not have needs for such things. A god does not eat, does not sleep, and should not really have a need to reproduce as they do not age nor do they have the chemical stimulants to induce pleasure should they engage in intercourse. Why should beings far different from us be expected to act like us?

‘God Mentality’ if I may call it, is the mental stage that divine beings are expected to act by. The absence of desire would strip ambition and lust from them, thus erasing the existence of a ‘seven sin’ scenario from them. How gods think, then, are most likely strayed from the fabric of mortal thoughts, and may even exist in several dimension and time streams.

Technicalities aside, a difference in mortal and divine lives would be described in one word: purpose

Mortal beings live for a purpose due to their limited lifetime, be it for love, money, or any other means. This purpose is their reason for existence, and may lose the will to live should it becomes obsolete. Then why do divine beings exist if they have no real purpose?

Because they can.
