Language and God, and all those other things!!!



Why was i born in this world, who defines it? does anyone know more than, what i do? hence arises the question, is there GOD?
something happens, we say "aiyo kadavulae ipdi panitiyae!" something doesn't happen we go like "aiyo kadavulae etha mattum senju iruka koodatha?"

So does anyone know/define what God needs to do? or the ones which he shouldn't?
confusing isn't it. One man prays God for something "to happen", the next man prays for that "not to happen". for example, a court verdict? 

So what could the God do?

Man goes to the extent that he defines God, and all his purposes, his wisdom he measures, his limits he criticizes, his weakness and strengths he knows (e.g., pilayara/panimaya madhava vendiko, romba powerful).

Then, comes the question again! Is there God? hypothetical isn't it.

Man defines God as a spirit, who has all the powers! can do anything and everything in the dictionary!
btw, who invented the dictionary? Man isn't it?

Who invented the languages which make the dictionary? Who invented the printing press? who invented ink? paper? everything else. (include BLOGS)

If God wanted to know that he existed, why doesn't he make all these, when he invented man? vague thoughts aren't they?

Is God Benevolent? Yes he is, unless otherwise, Benevolence is a word invented by man, meaning – act of doing good.
what if malevolent (act of doing bad) had the meaning of benevolent, when the word was invented by the ---man? Then can we say that God is "malevolent"?

I like to state a quote of Epicurus:
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?"

In this quote, replace the words, omnipotent with impotent, malevolent with benevolent and all other words with their opposites!!!!!

This is the power of words... btw, what language did God speak when he invented (sorry for being sarcastic) the world and human beings and all other creatures?
and if God made man his own symbol, why didn't he teach him that language? (go land in a country which doesn't speak English, and you will know, you may even curse God for this!)

Once a Nigerian i knew, pronounced "Kadavul" as "Kathavoo", so can we can say "The door in Tamil is God in English?"

Hence can we come to the conclusion that it is Language which defines God, and the language was invented by Man?????
