如果上帝亦凡人

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

我一直覺得神這樣的議題很難明確的去討論它的存在;甚至佐證它。還記得在研究所的時候有一陣子用了些心理學以及哲學觀念去分析跟理解這件事情;裡面包含集體意識、唯我論、甚至形上學跟唯物論交叉分析跟探討神的存在。這件事情後來的結果和建築論文裡帶入的數學元素π(PI)的概念一樣;π有著無窮盡演算後的數字。回過頭來說,探討神的一切可以用任何不重複、不相互牴觸的多重平行法則(主體相等於客體)條列式的邏輯化可知的必要的元素,在π所代表數字在我研究神的論述中成了各方學類的整理(加進了我自己的推論);坦白說也就是一些推理的知識(數字)罷了;我永遠追著這個世界上僅存的線索去推導定義神。結果就像3.14159….,我永遠在追著它不斷演算出現的數字,但永遠不知道數字何時會停止,這串數字會有多長,這是否就是神的樣子呢?於是就像π給我的觀念一樣,神這個符號代表的本質跟π是相當接近的,追求答案的方式都是用已知的規範/模式中無窮盡的探索下去。

 

然而最近聽到一首歌,覺得有點意思。

 

當年這首歌的出現有點爭議,但到現代來看其實沒有什麼大不了。我喜歡她唱著yeah yeah God is great…YEAH YEAH GOD IS GOOD…那樣慵懶又帶有點玩笑的語調。那會刺激我去想像神的偉大究竟是什麼樣的偉大。神創造人很偉大嗎?有比養育我們的父母親偉大嗎?還是創造只是件有意義或是神奇的事而已呢?

 

Joan Osborne – One of us(翻譯)

 

Oh…one of these nights at about twelve o’clock/漫漫長夜12點鐘
This whole earth’s gonna reel and rcok/世界開始搖晃動盪
Things thay’ll tremble and cry lovechiucc for pain/萬物憂慮顫慄 失痛哀嚎
For the Lord’s gonna come in his heavenly airplane/只因上帝駕著天堂飛機至凡間

If God had a name, what would it be/如果上帝有名字會是何名何姓?
And would you call it to his face/你敢在祂的面前直呼名諱嗎?
If you were faced with him in all his glory/當衪帶著無比榮耀面對你
What would you ask if you had just one question/若只能提問一個問題,你會問什麼?

What if God was one of us/如果上帝亦凡人
Just a slob like one of us/跟我們一樣不修邊幅的凡人

Trying to make his way home/正在回家的路上

If God had a face what would it look like/如果神有張臉,那會是怎樣的容顏?
And would you want to see/而你願見衪一面嗎?
If seeing meant that you lovechiucc would have to believe/若見面就意味你必需得相信
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets/天堂、耶穌、聖徒與所有預言

And yeah yeah God is great /是的 是的 上帝很偉大
yeah yeah God is good/是的 是的 上帝如此完美
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
