Well almost every day of our lives we worship god, rather statues. We consider them as a symbol of "The supreme creator" the holy one. Well does god really exist is a question that most of us with faltering faiths face today. Specially in todays world where evil is victorious. Well, personally i feel there is quite some substance to the theories of atheism.
During evolution man stumbled across certain forces of nature that he found were unconquerable. He started fearing and worshiping these forces, hence we hear the term "GOD FEARING". Slowly different stories evolved around these forces thus we have different religions today. Apparently enough, different cults came to be formed based on these tales that they created and passed down as legacy.
Well ever asked your self this question? Why do you believe in the god you do? The answer is obvious, because you were born into that religion. Your parents thought you about a particular god and hence u believe that he exists, he is your creator. Right from the time you were born you have seen your parents, families and friends perform various rituals, ceremonies etc, sadly you were not mature enough to think or question why and hence you fell victim to this malady plaguing the universe.
Well if he does exist i have a few questions. Why does evil always win? If he is all so powerful and mighty, why cant he put an end to the reign of evil? Why do innocent people bear the brunt of acts they haven't committed or things they've never done?
Then there are some smart alecs who defend his existence by questioning fellow atheists about, who then created the world? well why haven't they ever though of who then created god? According to me god is something we use to "try" and rationalise the irrational. We have never thought about the bondage or mental stagnation that this god brings about. If a god or religion claims something to be wrong we assume it to be wrong whether or not it is pragmatic, a person who tries to display a sense of logic is considered as an "enemy" to the religion and its fellow believers. Marx said "Religion is the opium of the masses" i say "Opium kills slowly".
Ironically people who claim to be "Holier than thou" are actually all hypocrites. How many people actually practice prophecies of their religion? I bet theres not a single person that follows his religion totally. Y then do we need to be bound by religion and god? Y cant we just be good civil, humane people ? Y cant we just take the best and leave the rest? Why are people so dogmatic? why cant people live their own lives? I believe every one has the right to live the way he wants as long as it doesn't affect others. My freedom ends where your nose starts
I do agree there is a supernatural force behind the creation of this "ooh so perfect universe" but why do we perceive this force as a person, a superhuman who listens to and answers our prayers. May be its mother nature that we perceive as god, and shed blood in her name.

i couldn't agree more bout the whole thing. it's like i've been trying to tell ppl the same thing. it's rly society n the ruling religion tht tells u wt to do n wt's rite n wt's not.
but there's just one thing. i don't believe tht nething is right or wrong. it's subjective. t concept does not exist. we do as we feel right. we do as we please. in this world 1 wants to be on the top. n will do almost nething. care a damn for wt happens to neone else. something is rite coz we say so.
those with self morals follow this. we chose wt is rite n wrong. n we live by those principles.
well said Infernal king!
i also agree with Flo.
there is nothing called as right/wrong. it is we who give out opinions and tag things !
things dont change, they remain th same !
similarly i loath people who teach bout morals or kindness.
Ya dude there is no right/wrong..
coz any right for me would be definaltely wrong for someone and vice versa...
and as far god goes, i dont have any personal grudges with god. Coz i beleive that if at all god existed(which i dont), he would have been a good being,and who is good to all. I really really hate the concept of
'religion'. it suxx big time.. i think all the worst things done in thins world by people is done under the name of religion..
count it , there is terrorism, holocaust, life sacrifices, riots, and many more.... all these things happen because of religion..
Just imagine a world without religion....
no wars, no riots, no killings, no racism, all the people living friendly with each other and there would be peace eveywhere...
when will i see such world???
