The thesis herein is that God is mad or crazy. Like a driver who makes a left turn even though the opposite traffic is heavy, so God is a daredevil with reckless inclination. He or She has made a universe which is incredibly complicated and replete with contradictions, mystery and outright danger. Nothing or no-one is safe in this world.
Now the question is, why is God crazy or mad? I propose that God is mad because of who he is. God was not sane only to become insane. No, he is naturally, intrinsically mad. God, being supremely intelligent and all-powerful, does not obey any rule whatsoever. He or She makes all rules. The rules God makes apply to what He creates and everything created is inferior and limited, imperfect in understanding or other quality.
Could God make another God? Could God reproduce Himself? I don't know. I tend to think -no. Religions are full of myths of many gods and these gods relating to each other and the lower world in various ways. The doctrine of the Trinity in Christian thought says that there are three persons in one God, so this teaching doesn't have almighty God making another almighty God in contradistinction to Herself. I imagine God is alone God; there is no other.
I think it important to note that God, by definition, is the only One of His kind. This is what makes Her unique. Everything else is plural or repeatable, God, only God, Lord of all, is singular. Beside all the power, prestige and wisdom which go along with being God, isn't there also loneliness and a certain sadness within this infinite being? Yes there is. "In Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
The relationship between us and God is reciprocal. We inform each other. Ultimately God is on His/Her own though and I stand in awe and wonder from afar. The Lord is like a crazy man doing it all, good or bad, irrespective of consequence of actions in time, knowing that the end is simply himself. I AM WHO I AM spoke to Job "out of the whirlwind" (Job 38:1; 40:6).
The peaceful whirlwind is the logical state of I AM in eternity, I propose. The addition of time -the clock- to that state, i.e., I AM forever, highlights the erratic nature of God, but tranquility is still there. So - what the heck!
