Can you please explain this quote to me?

Question

“God is a concept by which we measure our pain”

John Lennon quote

Answer 1

Every person in this world has to go through some kind of pain or suffering. Only the intensity of the  pain varies. So, every time people suffer, they think that GOD has suffered more than this and he has given his life for us. So, people think that this is a small thing and get over it.

This is my interpretation. Not sure though.

Answer 2

It suggests that humans rely on the idea of a god simply to explain for what happens in the world.

For example: "My broken leg is only a test of faith. With god by my side, I feel no anguish."

Or; "This only happened because there isn't really a god; that's why I suffer."

It implies that pain is psychological and whether you feel pain or not could be through your faith.

Answer 3

whenever you are in  trouble you think of god.

how worst the trouble is , that much faith you put in god.

more the pain, more we think about him.

this is how i would interpret

Answer 4

maybe We measure our life what happens in it what doesn't happen based on how much we believe in God orblame him for the bad things that happen to us??
