Interview with God (part II)

Part II

Interviewer: What about divine intervention? We often hear about the suffering of innocents and we are told that it is the "will of God". Can this be true?

God: In fact, I leave fate of each and every individual to random chance. I don't interfere because how can I favor one individual above the other? I am not a fickle god.
To selectively give misfortune to one individual whilst giving misfortune to another isn't my style. I give life, shouldn't that be enough?. Then I let the random elements take their course. I see beauty in that, don't you?

Interviewer: If everything is random then why should humans acknowledge your existence?
God: I don't need humans to validate or acknowledge my existence. It makes no difference to me either way.

Interviewer: The question of the soul. Do humans have a soul?
God: Some do and some don't.

Interviewer: What about spirituality?
God: Those people who want a dialogue with me are free to do so. If others don't want that, then so be it.
The fact is that I gave humans the freedom of choice, they have no limitations except what the forces of random luck throw up to either assist or hinder their pursuits.

Interviewer:So, you're saying that morality is an option?
God: Indeed it is. That's why the righteous person doesn't have any advantage over the criminal in their lot. Fate is random and non - discriminatory.

Interviewer: So what is the meaning of life?
God: Ah, if I answered that then there would be no questions left. There are as many answers as there are stars in the universe. I give you the choice to do as you like, to pursue meaning or not, to be moral or not. I do not judge, interfere or manipulate or give favor. The misconception is that I am a meddlesome God, like those gods of Greek mythology.

Interviewer: So you don't need people to worship you?
God: Why would I? Do I have a huge ego that needs to be nourished? Do I have insecurities that need to be reassured? Don't be silly.
