Ubiquitous comes from latin place, what does it mean "everywhere" . The concept is used primarily as an adjective attributable to God that signals your ability to have simultaneous presence everywhere at once .
Ubiquity, therefore, is linked to the omnipresence . This quality is attributed to the divine entities and, in relation to the religions that only believe in a single divinity, it is a perfection of God .
This quality of God, added the omnipotence (the absolute and unlimited power), generates a theological problem known as Epicurus paradox by the Greek philosopher who enunciated it. This conflict argues that, if God is everywhere and his power has no limit, there should be no evil in the land .
This situation implies one of the most important divisions among religions. deists (which affirm that God's action is limited to the creation of the universe) and theists (who believe that divinity acquires a more active role).
Christianity, for example, solves this issue through free will, which states that God has given people the power to make their own decisions. Therefore, the existence of evil obeys human actions.
Another conflict of the ubiquity of God arises with the hell . If God is everywhere at once, he should be present in hell, which implies a problem for logic.
The ubiquitous adjective is also used to name the individual who pretends to observe everything and is in constant motion .
In the field of computer science it is understood as ubiquitous computing, also called ubicomp, to the integration of technological tools into people's lives; that is to make computers adapted to the needs of the subjects, being able to serve multiple functions and make users' lives easier. It is worth mentioning that this concept is also known as environmental intelligence.
Ubiquity of the Christian God
According to the biblical teachings, God is everywhere. We do not see or hear it, but we know that it is there pending of their children. We hear this since we are little and we get used to repeating it.
Various scientific studies have shown that beliefs respond to an intrinsic need of the human being. That god is a creation which allows man to feel liberated from the dangers of the world, from the devil, from sadness and death.
As the philosopher Karl Marx put it, religion consists of a drug that allows a momentary and false happiness. He said: "it is the opium of the peoples"It allows to maintain a social order and above all, it generates that people believe in a life beyond it, that they have hope.
The belief in that ubiquity of God allows that feeling of union and trust to be fed; believers feel protected and theoretically contained in a space where they are free and responsible for what happens. He famous free will it is the most elaborate and mischievous explanation that the Church has given to the evils of the world because that god who is everywhere prefers that the human being makes decisions and whoever causes good or evil on earth. In this way it is justified that God does not appear and Catholics continue to live in that prefabricated deception.
When the human being is within a religion loses all your freedom (although he thinks that is not the case) and acts according to the group, instinctively and barbarically; while when it is separated from any religious institution or congregation, it is a truly free person, able to make their own decisions and use intelligence properly. Knowing all this, will we still deny that the ubiquity of God responds to a millennial deception of dominion? Do we prefer to be subjects or free beings?
