What if God was one of us?


Thats a stupefying question isnt it?

Seriously, if this was true, there would be so many questions in our mind

Let me give you the excerpts of this Joan Osbourne song

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home


What if, he was the guy who suddenly braked right in front of you and you slam into his car screaming out profanities?

What if, he is your local cafetaria vendor, handing out snacks to you with a smile?


What if, he actually is Saurav Ganguly (no specific loyalties to the man: but respect his cricketing skills) coming back into the Indian cricket team?


It is difficult to answer such questions, at a time when some people are confirmed atheists, some devoted believers and some who believe in the supreme existence of the almighty - as an envelope, not as a body.

But for a moment, assuming, that he/she is a body - the most difficult question would be to know who is God??
From billions of living individuals, how does one know, that this is God.
We are not in an age, where God would display his true picture to the one who penanced, or begged for forgiveness..

Or as said in the scriptures, God is in us, with us, so God is not 'one' of us as Joan Osbourne says, God is 'all' of us.

Food for thought?
