An atheist a disbeliever, someone who believes no deities exist, No GOD exists, well I don't agree with this definition, I have been an atheist before I knew this word. I couldn't, I just couldn't have faith in the idea of worshipping sculptures, because I wasn't able to give my belief a name, a figure, a face. Whenever I talk to my family about it, to be honest, they call me wrong and they think one day I will believe, well maybe you never know. Whenever I talk to other people about it they think I am an offender of the society, I am like really? Well, I don't blame any of them that's what they have been taught in their entire life, having faith in God, then choose a particular God, then have faith in that God then, do all kind of things to please that God and then wait for the ultimate fruit of your devotion.
Well being a Hindu I was introduced to millions of Gods, and all of them created and controlled the whole universe and resided in India, so I was like how is that possible, It was like a Hollywood movie with Alien invasion, I guess my view regarding the "human-made" God was created because my questions were considered irrelevant and were never answered, I don't know if they even have any answers.
My problem is not with God, that guy has done enough for us and he is powerful enough to take care of himself, what my issue is how people, how society get away with things in name of God, girls being slaughtered, cities being destroyed, people being divided, so what good is it? terror is being created in name of different-different human created Gods, If they happened to be real they would have either stopped it else the worst has happened, even they lost hope and left the planet, surely chilling somewhere with those aliens in peace. Not only terror, but in our country this is a well-established business, no advertisement needed, God fearing people from all over the nation will come and invest in cash and goods in the hope that their work will be done, or surely something good would happen to them. Well these innocent greedy people are just trying, who are being fooled by the so-called servants of the God, well I cannot blame them I am greedy too , I am just not innocent, I cannot have blind faith, I cannot invest without any guaranteed return, a fixed deposit works well for me.
The thing is I tried donating money in name of God but I felt what good did it do? They say you will feel rejoice and enriched once you do that, here I am like feeling broke.What is God going to do with all the cash and let's say God might need some cash, you never know economic breakdowns are way common nowadays, but how is the transaction being taken place between God and the so called servant of God? Again another irrelevant question by the urban poor again not going to be answered.
All these facts, unanswered questions, made me what I am, I am an atheist and I am happy being one, the way I see it, there is some supernatural power controlling the universe and I have faith in it, I respect it but I can't picture it or give it a name, but I know enough about it, to not to go in search of it, it's taking care of all of us and itself, all I can do is be the best of the human being, have my soul enriched by good deeds, help the needy not the greedy, believe in love, family and friendship and live and lead the life given to me to best of my potential .
I know people would judge me, my own family does but it's okay I have made peace with it, they say, serve the almighty I say almighty doesn't need serving all it need is believing, believe in it, it's out there looking for you, give your love and devotion in the life he has given you, be the person you think he would be proud of. I agree to the fact that believing in God gives us hope to survive, life is not easy for anyone, each and everyone is busy fighting their own way out, but what I am saying is you have to win the fight to have your own way out.
