Is it correct to worship human beings though they may be preachers, gurus etc. and treat them as Gods?
I think God is OMNIPOTENT and cannot be human. Human being is a creation of God.
Sri.Natarajan Sir,
Greetings. We have not seen God. There are many writings from people who claimed to have 'felt' God or God's presence; that is not seeing the God. When we do not know about somethnig, we may not be able to describe asuume qualities for such unproven quantity. God may not be omnipotent. It is a bit hard to explain inaction from an omnipotent force when thousands of persons get wiped out in natural disastors.
Human being is just an animal, granted, more cunning than most of the animals. Irony is, human beings, although may not completely avert natural disastors, may reduce human losses by alerting others; last year, one young girl in samoan Islands alerted others just before a Tsunami, there by saving few or few hundred lives. In that situation, that girl was more potent than many other imaginary figures.
If God created Human beings or anything for that matter, then God should take responsibility of his creations. But if God created Human beings, he/she/It is not taking any responsibility.
Is it correct to worship human beings? Personally, I would say, yes, any worthy human being may be worshipped/respected/revered. Almost all the good samaritans are human beings. One may say, 'God acts through good human beings'; sure, that's one's belief. Even in such situations, one should pay the gratitude to that helpful human being.
In the case of preacher, gurus etc, they start off saying they want to serve the public; more often than not, in reality, the public ends up serving them, pay them piles of money. The whole thing seems lopsided to me; but then, I neither know God, nor know preachers nor have a Guru nor have listened to a Guru. who knows? I may be missing something.
Cheers!
