When humans first started to think about God, times were very tough, life was a bitter struggle and naturally people hoped and prayed for a super being to help them, comfort them. The dominant religions of today reflected that attitude, made God in the image of the most powerful man of those days, the king, master or Emperor. This super being is our savior, will save us from having to face a tough, difficult life. If we pray hard, this super being will give us eternal childhood; life in a protected bubble. That has been the narrative of the past and sadly, still remains the narrative of the present. It is time for a paradigm change—time for the strong to write a new narrative about Faith and God. Time to stop asking God for this and that and start saying,“What can I do for God?”
