Disclaimer:
I am not a prolific writer and neither am I a profound thinker; To write
on a topic that requires reasoning ability and all that jazz, is tough
job for me. So the below write-up might be confusing and nonsensical.
So I happily welcome all the hate mail and rotten tomatoes and what
not to my inbox. Definitely no intention to offend anyone. This is just
a post by a confused soul. So apologies in advance if it hurts anyone
inadvertently.
Is
god the world's biggest tyrant? No, I don't think so. Am I sick n tired
of atheist morons? Nope, definitely not. But, hell yeah, am pretty much
tired of this conflict that is going on for ages.
It
s all about beliefs isn't it? Not all people are same. Human beings
are unique in their own way and differ from each other. When people
are different, it's only natural that their beliefs too will be different.
And there is nothing wrong about it. So why do we have to argue about
it. Won't it be fair to all, if we agree to disagree? We can't do that,
can we? Cause it's not in basic human nature. We always want to be the
one who's right and we love to prove others wrong. Its not in the human
nature to not investigate about a mystery. We have this insatiable urge
to define unexplainable things; otherwise we would all die of curiosity
*yeah ,right*
(My take)
So
human beings would have wondered about their origin and they came to
believe in a divine power and coined the term god. Probably they were
grateful and wanted to offer thanks. But how can u say it to someone
who is unseen. So they used their imagination * oh boy, aren't we good
at that* and result gods in various forms. And they probably started
worshiping asking for continued blessings.
Days
passed and peoples' progenies would have come onto this earth and when
the elder generation tried to instill the beliefs in them, some of the
younglings would have raised the questions "Why? How" and
what not. *observed from each generation, the next one never accepts
what the elders say without asking questions*. The elders would have
a hard time to convince the young ones and so to aid them, they would
have created the myths and legends *well, it's very easy, you know??
All you need is an vivid imagination Yeah, yeah I can hear you telling
that they are not myths but real facts. Well, you may be right .I don't
have a time turner with me, to exactly know what happened*. They would
have probably succeeded to an extent, but there might be some younglings
who were skeptical about it.
What would have happened if
a calamity had befallen the human beings? What would have been their
reaction?? There is a possibility for two reactions as far as my brain
*a below average one* could think. They would have lost faith in their
beliefs or the most common nature of human being would have kicked in.
They would have assumed that the Gods were angry and the head person
might have come up with some ritual which would be a solution to the
problem in the first place or a sick ritual just for their pleasure.*Assumption
is the root cause for all troubles, I say*.
Well, what if the people lost
faith? They would have started preaching to others and the doubts lingering
in the younglings skeptical of the beliefs would have started to haunt
them and so the search for the so called TRUTH, very well aided by their
brain. For they knew, they can't just bluff. If they wanted others to
believe them, they needed some proof. And so they set on their journey
and worked towards it
In the meantime, different clans
would have come across each other and found their beliefs to be different.
So the concept of religion would have blossomed. They might have compared
the result of the other clans' rituals, gods with their own. Initially
they would have adopted some changes into their religions, but later
fought on the supremacy of their religions.*of course ego would have
kicked in, if the other clan's gods were more beautiful, there by inferring
that their imagination is far better.*
Amidst these things, some human
beings might have been born with gifts. And their actions would have
been so sincere and passionate, that people felt that it was a divine
experience to be with them and followed them and considered them to
be blessed. It isn't those gifted people's fault *Well, I am not talking
about the ones faking it!!* They would have just wanted to help. Well,
at least I think it was that way. Or they would have loved all the attention
that they were getting. God Who knows *Oops Strike that :-P*
So what happened to the people or people who lost belief and set out
to find proof? Well, on the way to find the proof of the truth,
they did discover many wonderful things that provided some credibility
to their arguments. But they wanted the people with beliefs to come
out of the ignorance and blamed religion and God for all the problems
in this world. *Well, I am confused*. They don't believe in God, right?
Then how can they blame something or someone they don't believe in.
They should be blaming human being. They are the root cause for all
the chaos and they choose ignorance. Let them be. Why do the non-believers
try so hardly to make the believers see sense ? Out of care ??
*yeah, right* Nope ,they wanted to prove them wrong.*Well , yeah, there
are people who really do care(both theists and atheists). And I respect
them*
Like the conflict between different religions, there arose a conflict
between the believers and the non-believers. Reason, you ask? The believers
wanted the non-believers to accept their version of truth and vice versa.*Duh
the name sounds dumb* There can't be someone who is a non-believer.
Cause that person strongly believes that there is no such thing as God.
So he/she does believe in something. So how can u call that person as
a non-believer??
They argued, fought for
a stand ,forcing their opinions on each other, trying their level best
to convince each other. And they still do. It is kind of irritating
sometimes. I can hear it. People have right to express opinions. I agree.
They are entitled to give voice to their opinions , but not stuff it
on others. It would be just wonderful, if people agree to that.
So I hear you asking, what am
i? Do I believe in God or Not? Well, I do believe in something which
is along the line My life's destination is set by the kind of thoughts
running in my mind.
.
P.S: I know ,people might find
there is no reasonable logic Please feel free to drop a mail if
u wanna tell that I should stop writing such a dump.
