GOD - A Belief or A Belief system?
Disclaimer:
I Respect all religions. Since I have better knowledge about Hindu mythology
and Hindu religion, I have given more examples from it. It doesn’t mean I am insulting it.
Before
you all come to a conclusion that I am an atheist, I want to clarify. NO, I'm not an atheist. I do go to temple; I do read religious
scriptures and observe all those rituals instructed by my mother.
I
believe in God but I don't believe in his existence. Yes, quite oxymoron. Just
like perfectly imperfect, regularly irregular or little more. True, I repeat
what I said, I believe in God but I don't believe in his existence.
I don't know
whether Lord Ram is a God or not
I don't know
whether Lord Krishna is a God or not
I don't know
whether Jesus Christ is a God or not
I don't know
whether Allah is a God or not
But
what I do certainly know is, there existed these men whose activities were
Godly for the whole humanity at that time so they got the tag of God to them.
I'll
explain why I don't believe in his existence.
Why
didn't He punish people like Dara Ram Rahim for decades that were so devilish
under the clout of the God himself? Why? What is the mistake of all those innocent
people who were victims of Ram Rahim? What is their fault? Is believing God
their mistake?
I
assume God himself is the leader and the so-called Godmen (Self-proclaimed) are
his representatives. If a representative of a leader is doing crimes by taking
the advantage of the name and fame of the leader, isn't it the leader's duty to
stop and teach a lesson to these pseudo-representatives? Why would he take so much time to bring them
to justice? The scriptures say that God is Omnipresent, Omniscient and
Omnipotent. Which means God knows everything and he is everywhere.
If
good happens only to people who believe in God there would only be Bhakts in
top positions throughout the globe. Quite
contrarily, there are many atheists who tasted success strongly believing in themselves.
So what is the common trait in both the Atheist and the theist? Belief. Both
strongly believe either God or themselves.
According
to me, back in time, the highly learned people created the concept God because
they found it easy to make the common people follow a few good things if
preached in the name of the God. All the customary things which has scientific
base too were popularized under the cover of religion or God. For example, using turmeric is scientifically
antibiotic. By introducing it into the religious system it made an impact on a
large section of people. Every such religious belief has a reason either
scientifically or socially or economically dated back to the conditions at
those times.
So
when a question raises Science Vs Religion, I say both are required. I want to
support my above statement by stating a few examples. Science says "Each
and everything is made of fundamental particles called atoms" whereas
religion says "Each and everything is made of me(Fundamental
particle)" in God's narration. Science
says "Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed it can only be transferred
from one form to another" Religion says" There is no death to soul
like we change clothes soul changes body".The only difference I find in
the above example is in grammar and in language but not in their summary.
So from the above cited examples, I came to an understanding that 'One is responsible for the deeper understanding of the problem and other is for providing the proofs for the same.So as per the famous saying goes “Science will show you the paths whereas religion guides you which path to choose”.Today we must clearly understand the evolution of those believes and rules in a layman language.We need to update our religious believes because only then we can fight the Social evils.

If
a fish helped us we called it ‘Matsyavatar’.
If
a pig helped us we called it ‘Varahavatar’.
Whoever
who helps other is a God to the receiver at that time.
If
a passerby helps a wounded person and takes him to hospital, he is God to that
person at that incident. One could be a God by just being a human being and
practicing humanity. We are ready to give donations into a Hundi, but not to a
fellow human being who needs help. For us God resides only in places of
worship. How ignorant are we? How can we forget that he is all potent, all
present and all knowing? So, God’s existence is doubtful, but the belief in God
exists.
This is so extraordinary is so many ways. Great analytical thinking.
