Many people are baffled by the difference between the God of Being and the God of Becoming, but the difference could not be starker. The first is impossible and the second certain. Why do so many billions believe in the impossible? First, it suits the agenda of their controllers.
Second, slaves want to be controlled because it means that they do not have to take personal responsibility for their own lives. People are passive in relation of the God of Being. Their only task is to submit to him and worship him. Look at a religion like Islam - the very word means "submission". But the God of Becoming has no interest in those who submit. He wants only those who take an active and proactive role in life. Those who submit are damned.
Believers in a God of Being are making the claim that God existed prior to the universe, that he has always existed and that he created the universe out of nothing. The definition of this God means that no one can ask who or what made God, how he came into being, where he came from, what substance he's made of, how he developed intelligence, why he felt the need to create the world.
If he is a spiritual being, why did he create matter? If he created all things, why did he create evil? The advocates of this God want to shut down debate, but despite their efforts the awkward questions have never gone away. They can never be credibly answered because there is no such entity as the God of Being. For millennia, billions of people have worshipped a non-existent divinity, a God who cannot have the qualities claimed for him. That is humanity's supreme tragedy.
