A friend of mine and I were chatting the other day, and together formed a theory about god, If he actually existed. We started out assuming that when we die there is nothing. That when we die, we are dead. But that doesn't mean that there isn't a God.

God strikes a match, we are that match. He creates it, he controls it, it's his fire. He can put it out, and when he puts it out, the flame does not go to heaven, it is simply extinguished.

Us, in relation to God, in my opinion, is as follows. We are the trees, and God is the human. We are not complex enough to understand God, or even realize he is there. God can create us, by planting us. And he can destroy us. Some think that they can comprehend God, but it is simply impossible. Trees are so far behind Humans, that it is simply incomprehensible to even think up something that actually moves on legs. We can't imagine anything that we don't relate to, so we cannot even fathom what God is.

But, we rely on trees. They provide us with oxygen. They give us what we need. And in return, we provide them with carbon monoxide, what they need to survive. Of course, the trees are not consciously aware that we rely on them for survival. And if they did, what do you think they would do?

I think that we are God’s pawn in his game of chess. And in order for God to achieve his “checkmate”, whatever that may be, he must sacrifice us. He must use us as a distraction. Of course, we don’t realize this, so we go with it. We pray to God, and obey his every command, but is it possible that God actually doesn’t give a ****? Is it possible that God is just keeping us alive for his own good until he can think up something better? What happens when we find a new way to survive other than oxygen?

What would happen if we, the pawn, realized what we were. What if we realized that we were just being used, and then backstabbed after all that prayer and dedication we gave to God? What if when God moved the pawn forward, it didn’t move forward? Is it possible for us to control HIS moves, and somehow lock the chess game in stalemate? Meaning, we achieve eternal life and God no longer has control over us. If that’s possible, is it possible to hop off the chess board? To become more than just a pawn? To become more than just human?

Of course, the chess board idea is simply put. There is no way we can possibly imagine what God is using us for, because he is so much more complex than we are. The same way that a tree cannot possibly fathom blood flow, auditable speech, and actually moving from one place to another. But you can never help thinking, “What if we could rebel on God, and achieve more than just life itself?”
