Most of us believe, or may be "know" , that something or someone called as god exists. The reason for that (as i see it) is our parents and others called as elders. Have you ever thought of this before? I have asked this to very few people, and i am not satisfied with their answers.
"why do you believe that GOD exists?"
Q. who created the universe?
A. GOD
why?
Some say "har baat ka reason nahi hota yaar". This sentence is used only when we want to believe something, but there is no reason for that. Whenever we talk, we try to explain ourselves with the support of reasons and logic. Then why not here?
'If believing something makes me happy, then i shall believe it.' If that's the reason you give, that you are ready to admit that you can lie to yourself and be happy, then this is acceptable to me.
If somebody believes that "kainchi chalane se ghar me ladai hoti hai" , then we call it a superstition, because it seems illogical. the same way, your belief in god seems superstition to me.
Say u believe in god, but then why do you go to temples to pray? and you have already assumed that god is a person. why is that? And you are requesting him/her for the things that you desire, for which i dont see any reason. Some say that they go only to 'thank' god. Why do u have to go to temple for that if god is everywhere? and why is god everywhere!? just like that? just because mummy kehti hai? pandit jee kehte hain?
if you think God is energy, then are you praying to , or thanking this energy!?
if you think god is some "thing" , then it's better, but still why? why can't we say "i don't know." !?
Some people pray to Hanuman (on tuesday), some to ganesha and so on.
These are characters from the mythological( i dont know whats that) 'novels' and not the gods. Even if you think that they have got great character or persona, then you can respect them or follow them, how can you pray to them !?
muslims pray to allah, hindus to many, christens to christ, and even then GOD is one, and nobody knows who/what , and even then we want to believe that he/it exists.
All these gods seem to be born out of ego. That community has a god, we will also have one. Take India, thousands of gods for thousands of communities, but still God is one :D. More population, so more caretakers required for handling \m/
"main hanuman ji ko bahut maanta hoon kyunki tuesday ko kuch aisa hua tha ki..."
if u have ever said such a thing, think what you just did. You probably believe that Hanuman has been assigned the task to take care of you :D
=> Agar tuesday ko meri kaamnayein poori honi band ho gayi to i'll shift to some other god. My caretaker has been changed :D
upar swarg hai neeche nark hai. Agar acche karm karoonga to swarg me, nahi to narak me. what is this shit!! swarg me apsarayein hain, nark me rakshas! arre kyun bhai!! tumne kuch dekha hai kya kabhi?
ye batao ki acche karm hote kya hain... ye kaun define karega. tum karoge? kyun bhai. Tum seth ho kya!
Jis kaam se kisi doosre insaan ko haani na pahunche, kisi ka bhala ho, vo accha karm hai. kyun?
this is just the point of view, different ppl, different perspectives.
And belief is not a perspective.
If you believe in god, u must believe in ghosts.If you dont , think why. That might be because you dont want to believe it.
Some ppl see God in their dreams, telling them something, some people have seen ghosts. maine kyun nahi dekhe bhai?
you have seen something => you believe in it
but here,
you believe in something => you see it!!
what else... if you have any arguments, please post them here.

Fire helped to cook food, and it can also burn u. helpful, and dangerous
=> fire= god
Water is to be drunk, it can drown u,helpful, and dangerous
=> water =god
Cow gives milk
=>cow=god
and so on... but this is only in india i suppose.. what say...
(the following stuff is hypothetical... obviously!)
Ek din bhagwaan naam ka shabd invent kiya gaya... they taught people to worship 'him', so that he could fulfill their wishes... to saare log baith gaye honge pooja karne saare kaam vaam chodke...
Obviously, results would not have been as expected! Kaam karne chodoge to kaise jiyoge guru..
Phir ek nayi kahawat ka janm hua... 'bhagwaan usi ki madad karta hai jo khud apni madad karta hai'... waah ji waah...creating new premise according to needs...

i dont say you are completely right or wrong. just one question before i say something. have you read alchemist ? and i would like to know your views.
ReplyDeleteAnkur
i have not read the alchemist. now?
ReplyDelete'If believing something makes me happy, then i shall believe it.' If that's the reason you give, that you are ready to admit that you can lie to yourself and be happy, then this is acceptable to me.
ReplyDeleteye tere liye hi likha tha...
I just find the form of life on Earth and consciousness astonishing and I don't think this is possible without divine intervention. We humans are too proud of our ability to think and reason logically but 'logic' in itself is baseless. Logic is based on assumptions.
ReplyDeleteAnything that gives you happiness without bothering others is completely acceptable behavior, you may call it lying or whatever.
"I don't think" this is possible without divine intervention
ReplyDelete=> there exists some'body' u can pray to ?
"We humans" are too proud
=> we are merely humans... there is god above us... who is controlling everything...
i m not saying that there cannot be anything, i m asking u why do u think it is god?
why do u say its brahma who created the universe and vishnu is running it and shiva will destroy it?
why can't we say that we don't know whats the answer..
