I remember once I had gone to a temple, there I read a quote, “there are three things a man should always be afraid of, and they are “GOD, YOUR FATHER and YOUR BOSS”. This was around 3-4 years ago and the thought that “why should one fear from God?” jammed my mind. Then after reading a lot of articles on theism and atheism I realized that GOD is the thought in your mind that helps you get through you tuff times and acts like a punching bag for all of us or some object we can throws tantrums on
When I asked an atheist that what is that one big reason you recognized and you stopped believing in God, he had an interesting answer, he said that man is too lazy to achieve its targets or desires so because he couldn’t reach the targets he should have something to blame on, or curse on that is why God was invented, so that we fear from someone, we blame our happiness and sorrows on someone, he always pondered on the fact that if God really exists, where is he why doesn’t he ever come out , is he scared of paparazzi, he should be or else heel be on every tabloid around the world
Being a non believer myself I thought that yes that was an interesting thought, with more advancement of science, now we now know how the earth revolves, how humans are born, how they die, basically we can now explain everything in scientific terms and refrain from saying that this is a miracle. One of my friends who told me a quote “Is Man God’s biggest mistake or God man’s biggest mistake” think closely and you will realize that if there would be no God there would be no wars, after all God has now become a religious demonstration, there would be no temples, no superstitions, and people would have had no complaints
One of the biggest reasons I stopped believing in God’s existence was and is that, I am the one who is responsible for my fate and for my destiny, if I work hard I reach the heights I desire, nobody on this earth has already written my fate, I create my own, so why should I think of somebody to whom I’ve not even seen and listened to, there’s no such thing called luck, you create it yourself.
Just recently I happen to read about this theory called as the PROPOGANDA THEORY, which says that after the 2nd world war people like Hitler used to control the media and the newspapers, the radio were just used to propagate only positive things about themselves, he was quite successful in doing it, he ruled Germany for years, and a technologically advanced country like Germany started believing in what he had to say…. He said that “the memory of the people was very petite and they only remember things that have recently happened”, this was the psychic he could catch hold of. So in the same way ….. All I believe is that GOD is the best propaganda ever that could have been played on the humans, and its still successful.
For people who read this and are staunch believers in God,
This is a point of view I don’t want to demean your faith. It’s your way of life
I am nobody to change it!
Hmmmmm
God! a debatable topic….
Only i can say..is I believe in God…n I dont believe in God…
Seems contradictory na…yeah..thts because I discussed this so many times with MYSELF , bt still i dont hav any answer of tht..
Reason being..the first creature (unicellular organism-as per scinece says) was Created Or Born?..if created then by whom?..if born then by whom? confusing na…i’ll explain u tht personally…
IN SEARCH OF GOD…
Nothing is true and nothing is false ,all depends on the colour of lens through which we look….
Within the body he himself resides,
Yet he cannot be seen,that invisible one.
Under the sway of mind,
Fools dont know the truth,
And search for him outside.
where there is thinking,there is duality,where there is duality,there is ego…there is ego: ” me and my thoughts” but remember realty and truth never changes….
AND TRUTH IS……
There is a being,wonderful,perfect;
He existed before heaven and earth,
How quiet he is!
How spirtual he is!
He stands alone and does not change.
All life comes from him.
He wraps everything with his love as in a garment.
And yet does not demand to be LORD!
I dont know his name,and so i call him GOD.
I think ur doubt about created or born is now clear.
“Believe in yourself as there is god inside you” © …. tc gudgoing, trust urself.
am an atheist myself but have no problems with ‘believers’. if that works for them, fine. at the end of the day both sides should be and do good…
mmmm… sum rreally well expressed ideas!
its all abt perceptn.. n as far as i’m concernd,m neither a theist nor an atheist.. an agnostic!
well pal u are right about that a man is master of himself.But pal i just want tell u that all this knowledge of science, thinking power of mind where does this originate. U say God should come in front and show himself but pal he is every were in every form air, water, wind , fire soil etc.How does a small seed of plant put into to the mother earth grows by it self.What is that power.When u do something wrong what is that voice from inside which tells u or helps u to differentiate between wright or wrong.Where this love feeling originated,from hart but what makes this hart pump.Every human being has different definition for word God.But i think God is inside us and he tries to make us a person who not only cares for himself or family but also for others. God is beyond knowledge ,beyond success ,beyond failure,beyond taste etc.Pal u may agree or disagree with me but i i think God is always with us and watching our every act.
GOD – an entity possessing unlimited power, knowledge & wisdom generated by the human mind for personal / spiritual gratification.
Gr88 topic chosen and well written well i believe in god as some1 above me talkin care of me walkin like shadow liftin me up when i trip i have strong belief which is become strong recently
God is not the one that is used to propagate, it is the thought process that is inside you and controls. True that advancements have been able to explain many things happening around us. With all our understanding, we have failed to understand ourselves. Our true natural self. Once you understand yourself, an external god is not at atl necessary. In harmony with your mind, soul and body, then harmony will pervade all around you.
first of all thanks to all the comments … i knew this topic would heat up
@ sandeep, Dr. bhavin, anu i like your thought flow GOD is an entity which has been a mystery all these years ….its a power within or a power given to him by us …so thanks for all the views
i believe in miracles and i believe in god….how else cud one explain the garuda[this birds the chariot of the lord] circling the “sabari malai” temple at dot 6pm [i think]….only on tht one day in a year…and how is it the the makara jyoti[its a light which flickers thrice behind the mountains on this same day at the same time of the year] neva fails to leave its mark on this day……..uve got to see to believe…there hav bin people whove come up wid all kind of theories….foreigners waiting at the mountains to catch the “trickster”but to no avail…….and i dont kno how unbelievable im sounding but ive seen people i kno dancing in a trance during lord ayappas festival season they just lose control over themselves….and dnt remember it l8r not a bit
and yea its true tht most wars or atrocities in this world r due to god HIMSELF…….which is sad but guess its a two edged sword..and how many of them r just using it as an issue is also debatable
