Thane,

I agree that we habitually pray for a higher being during times of trouble because it has been ingrained in us that the superior being will always come to help if prayed selflessly. I am not going to challenge that even though during such times I hardly pray and believe it is just that the timeline in our life took a turn because of various variables. But I have issues in beliefs in superstitions, fables and folklores attached to a higher being and undocumented facts about their supremacy. That doesn’t make sense to me.

Alias,

You have a valid point. I despise Hindiusm; it is not a hidden fact, but I haven’t been very vocal about other religions and that is perhaps misinterpreted by the readers to believe I am on a crusade against only one religion as well, rightfully so.  But it is because of my lack of visibility towards other religion. I despise Judaism, Christianity and Islam equally – the sole reason being their intent to ‘divide’ humanity based on asinine doctrines. My only argument is, why do we have to be in a certain religion to be a better human being?

Ne0,

You just earned me some new enemies.

Halo,

Thank you very much. I am almost led to believe that we as humans are evolved by some sort of chemical reaction, an accidental fruition that somehow made us intelligent and strong enough to survive this planet. The earth was formed billions of years ago, the climate and environment bred dinosaurs that were apt to them, and then bred humans in current conditions, few million years later only aquatic animals might survive.

Gonecrazy,

Exactly my point! We are born from an ounce of semen only to die in an urn of ashes. It is a metamorphosis, god doesn’t give us birth and god doesn’t kill us, yet we somehow believe in that asinine fact. Just like machinery that rusts away we disappear in this universe without a trace, if humans have god, plants and animals should too, even machinery should. Do only conscientious and intelligent living beings like us deserve blessings from god? I do not think so.

S_usa,

I am delighted that your thoughts sync with mine. We do not need god to make us a better human being, or a devil for a reverse reason, all our acts stems from us and ends with us and there may or may not be consequences unlike how many believe all good deeds are rewarded and bad ones are reprimanded. We live in a cosmos of billions of variables that rule outcomes.

Junglebook,

My apologies if my article was a little insensitive towards pious individuals, I’d love to say that wasn’t my intent, but actually it was, except that I didn’t really insert superfluous jokes to challenge their beliefs, I just was trying to find analogies and examples to support mine. Like someone mentioned in the thread above our religion dictates our culture, I would have loved to see if it were otherwise. Alike you I celebrate our festivals too, just because I love it, not because there is a religious significance behind it. I am not sure I am a fanatic atheist but I do question beliefs that make little sense to me. I might never be a Geeta kicking individual, but I have encountered belligerent atheists who fit in the profile you mentioned.

---------,

I am certain that chicken is sinned, and I am sure it perhaps resided in someone’s belly for sometime, only because the god was angry.

Abhisesh,

Thank you. I am not sure I believe in paradox, your case opens a whole new door for more arguments; it is based more on a hunch than any empirical and pragmatic connection. Almost like a sequence of ironies that aren’t plausible.

Highflyingeagle,

Nice song, but it was too hard for me to decipher what it actually meant. Is it speaking of contradictions?

@Behoove, just my insights that there is a superior above us my friend, and a song is more like God is the director of every miracles in this universe. Westerners were given a chance, Jesus was Krishna's good disciple, he transcribed every words of Krishna's good sayings, but nope they have challenged every words of God and went beyond it. Materialism and science makes us believe that humans are the creator of science, but, be no fool, God had this evrything in plan. Lord Shivaji is a Yogi, he loves everyone, he even forgives the evils, yes, you are right, he loves his kids, but it doesn't mean, you have to see him in real. You might have sinned, but inside you have a fear, God might punish you, yes, that fear has helped you being forgiven by Lord. He is not here to punish you, he is here to embrace you. You are chosen ones of God, hindus are blessed, they know all Gods, but somehow, they love to question his presence that is a sin. Faith is everything my friend, have a faith in Lord, he will always be a guardian.
Now, let's talk about westerners. Even Natives believed in Sun God, Moon God, but the whites destroyed everything in the name of Christianity. They steal everything, your family, your faith, your brain, your conscience and you. Why Christians are barred from entering the temple? You eat cow, Krishna is in a cow, he is the supreme Godhead, Krishna has given a man everything, but a man lusts after a soul. Whites are the evil of the earth, destroying the nature, conspirating the war games, killing in the name of war, stealing the kids of around the world, these evil people is trying to take a conscience or faith from you my friend. You are blessed my friend. Do not worry about a sin, have a faith and ask for forgiveness, God loves you, God will not single you out, but leaving a faith in him is a sin, connect your soul to Godhead, a soul is attached to Supremehead not your body. Your arrogance might ask about his presence but if you try to connect your soul to him, you will reach him. Will you take your iphone when you die? Why not have faith and do your karma that is give your soul to God and please him? Why do you worry about a sin, when you can pray for forgiveness? Donot get hypnotized by a science and a white land my friend, as you are chosen one and born within a God's circle, you have been given Vedas and mantras and religion, do not lose faith my friend, as you said, he is our friend, he loves to forgive not punish, he will embrace you, he wants to teach you that he is your creator, not a destroyer, God just hates arrogance. Om Namah Shivaya. Om is the trinity! Om is universe, Shree Krishna is the Creator! Jaya Shree Krishna.

Another good song!

Wow highflyin’, I do not know how to respond to that. Evidently you have a lot of knowledge on deities and religions than me. But again, to blame a certain race only because of the color of skin and their belief is something I cannot put my arms around.  Not favoring Judaism or Christianity, the misinterpretation of their religious books has bred devils, but so has ours, or else there wouldn’t be a hindu muslim conflict for centuries. The need of a religion, per my pea size brain was perhaps to keep people in a strict social regimen which was misconstrued over the last millennium to divide people, but then what do I know.

I just believe in something that sounds logical, credible, pragmatic and plausible to me.

Nice song by the way bro.

Please watch this video and see if it is compelling to believe that God does exist as it states in the Bible.
