No, we cannot imagine god. If we even describe him as a he or a she, we bring him down to the level of human language, so to even speak of god we are forced to speak lies. A righteous god would not send me to hell for not being able to do more than I was created to do. He won’t send me to hell for not believing in any of the gods men have told me about.
There is so much confusion because of all the gods men have created. Why does an all-powerful god allow so much confusion? If the message he gave to Muhammad is the only way to know him, why did he allow humans to walk in darkness until only a few hundred years ago? Were the humans who lived before Muhammad so evil that Allah deemed them unworthy? How could there be any reason beyond the power of an all-powerful god? And why am I threatened with hell for not understanding what is beyond human comprehension?
I apologize for the delay, you gotta hate it when you write that one large comment, and see it just vanish ><
It's very tempting for human beings to imagine things, in lots of cases our imagination draws the conclusion, I totally think that religion -also in lots of cases- is the product of a certain imagination, if the "vision" of that certain somebody; his/her "imagination" was good enough, masses will follow, as it is the cases with new fashions.
Depending on the scenario, God becomes a female, or a male, a Zeus, an Arab sultan with a huge sword, or perhaps: a calf. I
Humans always need to imagine, then draw, producing an idol to hang on to.
Things are blurry because life is a mere test; it's not fair. That actually, produced the perfect environment for a test.
We can't describe him perfectly through words; but that's what holy books are for anyways: being a God, he should be the master of speech and linguistic rules. He shouldn't find a problem communicating with us, through a book..the perfect trojan horse; that is, we should first feel his presence, then read and believe. Hell is a consequence for failing to see the truth; for failing to see it, means the corruption of everything, one way or another..
