To Atheists... From the Atheist



To Atheists.........From the Atheist

        
          
            Since the existence of man, there is a question on the existence of God. We feel confusion about that. We should believe in ‘God’ or not? How can existence of God affect our life? These questions always rise in our mind.  I want to present my views about this.
         Generally, if the simple, normal events are going on, if life is well set, and no such complex or extraordinary event happen in our life or our surrounding, than we don’t want to think about God, we have no time to think about that, we have no interest in that. And if we think, we can visual that there is no role of a God, Simple chains of cause and effect only. But when accidental event or something strange happen which we may not imagine, then we started to think about ‘God’, some supreme power.
           The reason is that, we cannot find out the reason or cause of that effect, so we put question on God and destiny or misfortune, and we also started believing in some superstitions.  And there is also some such events are taking place in our surroundings and in world which have not any cause, whose answer is ‘only God knows’. 
            Every person relates his/her success story with his/her hard working and every failure has one excuse of having bad luck. This is very common mentality which is not wrong. Because of that we can enjoy our success and we can also become stress free with using the story of bad luck or having misfortune.
            There is a different stage of human age. Children accept God because their elders teach them to believe in God, to prey God. Their mind is like blank slate so they can accept belief of any person. The young person who is with full of uncontrollable strength, intelligence, youth, desire, confidence and has self respect and ego, he doesn’t believe in God. He doesn’t accept the rule of God over himself, because he has strength to accept any challenge, wherever it comes, he can carry responsibilities of his destiny. 
            But after 45 or 50 years every person starts believing in God. Because now a person becomes wicked, tired and experienced, now he needs support. A person doesn’t want to fight but he wants stability in life. So, he starts to believe/pray God for his relaxation and also for strength.
           Today, Atheists become more valuable and we give them more respect, because we believe that they are much intellectual, learned and with strong willpower and confidence for their own self. And others who believe in God are uneducated and silly people.
         This concept must be changed. Who believe in God, actually they are extra-ordinary, because they believe in the thing which they cannot see and feel in their whole life.
          To believe in God is not unintelligent or silly thing. Even superstitions and superstitious people are also not wrong or bad. Sometimes because of their much faith and love for God, people know them as superstitious one. But we must not make others to follow whatever we believe. When our superstitions become harmful for others, than it is the most dangerous thing.
          We must believe in God but with intelligence and common sense, not to become blind with the world which we can visual. Because ideas related to God give us better moral standards. Even to pray God is also not easy task.
           If we don’t believe in God, it shows that we are not capable to pray God, doing ‘Bhakti’ of God. We can become Atheist, but we have to accept the Bhakti, the faith of Mira or Narsinh Mehta or other saints. We cannot deny them or their God.
          Generally we define the word ‘Atheist’ as who don’t believe in God. But I think Atheist is the person who has doubt about God’s existence and cannot find any answer about it. In Atheist’s mind there is continuous struggle on ‘to believe in God or not’ because of this internal confusion, he presents himself Atheist.
         So, if you don’t believe in God, Don’t feel proud. But see the ‘idol’ of God or Goddess, you can see that it is always smiling and there are a sparkles, mercy and love in it eyes, as if it wants to say us that ‘I know you, with all your sins and addicts and vices I accept you. I welcome you as you are.’ And then we have to bow at the idol. We become superstitious and silly as we started to believe in God.    
         Actually, I want to write against God, blame God for some events as feeling like Atheist. And these are my views. I also don’t know when I started to love God and write in favour of God!!!

  1. Hi Pooja,
    It is very good article. I enjoyed it a lot. some of your views are very interesting. Like believers of God should be given more importance than atheist.
    Now I want to add something from my side. I was told once that a person, who don't believe in God he/she also accepts God's existence. Atheists may deny to believe in God but they can not deny God.
    And I want to put here one incident which shows that what can be done by only a move of letters.
    Once an atheist wrote on the wall of his house that
    "GOD IS NO WHERE", and a child read it as "GOD IS NOW HERE". So faith matters.
    Regards.
