For the love of God

I think every guitar player must have heard this song (for the love of god) it's one of Steve Vai’s most famous songs of all time. So take a moment listening and show how you feel about god.

People nowadays have all kind of perception about god although it's not very far from what our religion thought us (despite being jewish or christian or muslim or other kinds of it) god is great. Living in such modern world caught us with a lot of question about god. Some of them might be annoying and some are quite funny. Sometimes it's funny when we believed but we didn't do as it was told, in my eye if a person believed in God but not following most of the teaching he/she must be a god believer but not religious. The question of 'do you believe in god' doesn't tell what your religion is. Being faithful may be subject to what religion you are, it shows character. Yet all kind of religion asks us to be good and good is actually determine base on the norms of the society. Lets say that you are talking to a religious preacher and the preacher told you that although you believed in God but you didn’t do as what told because you are not scared enough to do it, you are not terrified by the consequences of Gods punishment. Now the idea of the preacher is that you have to do Gods teaching so you wouldn’t end up in hell. Hell is where human get punish for wrong doing and the mind would interpreted it as something horrifying. Now if you believed in god but not religious it shows that you are not afraid of god. If I were to put this in a much nicer way I would say that ‘you think of god as great and as wonderful as anything in imagine, thus there’re nothing harmful of Him (God) and since god is the light, the savior how on earth would you think god could be terrifying.’ The only thing is we believed but we didn’t love Him. Love is something that you do even though the person whom to be loved irritated by things that you do but because of love the person let pass stupidity. So I believe that if we love God, we do anything to earn Gods love in return.

For some this is quite an explicit text especially came for an eyed view but I’m just challenging my mind out of something and out of something I came with this. To a few it’s a matter of belief, to the many it’s a matter of faith. We might be secretive about this matter but atleast we chose what to believe.

Frankly I was actually interpreting about a song called “for the love of god” by Steve Vai. Cheers! Teda ancakan paradigma hehehe.
