Hello.
If you are religious or superstitious, Please go ahead and read this.
It is specifically written for you.
Whats is this God?, the omnipresent omnipotent hunk we accuse him of being?
Seriously!?
If that is somehow proven someday, let me tell you god will turn out to be one sick voyeur, jerking off to the sick reality we all are so gladly a part of.
And if you are naive enough to believe that religion is god, then I hope your GOD helps you.
(For the convenience of the writer, GOD has been referred as HE, and not SHE or THEY, as 2 is the smallest number out of 2,3 and 4)
Now let me be the messiah of rationality, the voice of science!
1. One of the main reasons why people acknowledge the existence of god is society. Rationality and science are treated as the devils work, and corrupt pedophiles as our saviors. Donating to a temple or church is publicized while development is cursed. Its a sad sad world we live in, blind to the obvious
.(The writer talks from personal experiences, being a witness to the coffers of Shirdi, Tirupati, Kedarnath, Haji Ali and Badrinath)
2. From centuries now, religion has been nothing but a power tool. Sadhus in India did it with their hocus pocus, the priests in europe did it with their 7 sins and other bullshit, muslims did it with forced conversions. Whoever had the most followers, was the most powerful with the maximum amount of money and was thus the ruler of the world!
3. If I had to go back in time, what would be the simplest way to ensure a lawful and civic society?, simple I would introduce a concept of this GOD, claim it is everything they dont understand and tell them he will make gold/silver/copper dust
(depending on their castes) out of them, thus religion is nothing but the constitution of the ancient world.
4. Fear is the crux behind the belief of a god, everything not explained by science is god. Hindus consider Pooranmashi(Full moon) holy, because they were glad at things being easier by the light of god!, they should have realized praying to it, doesnt make it skip its cycle!. Similarly Muslims pray to the Amavasya(New Moon) because they realised that on that particular day, they had no light from the
heavens above which made survival harder and resorted to praying to this God.
I fear my future, so I will pray to god. I fear a mis-happening so I ask him to intervene! and even if you are one of those 'I remember god even when im happy' sorts, you do it so that HE doesnt get pissed off with you and burns your soul for eternity.
5. Ok, so Im reading a book called 'Gods Debris' , the writer(of the book), has his own philosophy on how if god was really there, and he will be omnipresent and omnipotent, what would be the purpose of his life, obviously he woulnt have mere human desires and emotions, he knows he can achieve everything, make everything, give and take life. What would his challenge be?, (if the little voice in your head is going all nuts about 'Taking care of us' , then trust me stab that son of a bitch to death right now). The writer of the book and the writer of the blog, think that the only challenge an omnipresent and omnipotent being like God will have would be to
destroy himself.
So even if he existed, he must have destroyed himself a long time ago.
6. All uncertainty in the world is god. Oh, I dont know when I'l die, let me just pray to this
artificial person. Im really not sure about the answers of the universe so let me just put it all on god: He was having a small diwali party in heaven, and he accidentally lit the universe on fire, thus the big bang. Not so long ago, the solar system, the sun, the moon were treated as gods too. But now that science understands their patterns and to an extent, the cause for those patterns, suddenly they are out of everyones 'Top 5 Gods'.
A simple example is, if I toss a coin, what would the result be?
A theist( Thank you sadhavi) would claim it is for the god to decide.
A protheist would say, it having only two options is whats in our control. But it being a head or a tail is in the control of external forces which you might call God.
I am saying that I can decided which side I want by simply applying the right force, taking in account the resistance of wind, the weight of the coin, the aero-dynamics of it etc etc. If someone applies themselves, they can make a mathematical formula which ensures a head or a tail !.
We are yet to discover so many secrets of the universe. What all is the human mind really capable of!.
My anger comes from the fact, that we have accepted this GOD and taken comfort in this illusion while we should be looking for answers everywhere.
