The word "God" is created by humans, the Symbol(Murti etc) is created by humans. The concept of someone more powerful than humans and more intelligent than humans imbibes humility and humbleness in humans hence was introduced in religions !
God as a super power, as energy, as anything intangible or incomprehensible , in itself denies its existence !Although our concepts of Existence are as per Human understanding etc etc....but thats all bullshit, for an ant humans exist and so does the universe, in da same way for every animal species, everything else exists and hence needs no special understanding to comprehend anyone's existence.
Existence of God, gives a feeling of security, support for ppl with weak mind.Those who cant digest the fact tht they are on their own, need tht support to delegate their tensions and worries on sumthing/sumone who will definitely help them !
So I dont belive in God because
1] Its a concept and not an entity
2] I dont need a concept to survive
3] I hate all current concepts of GOD in context with any religion
God as a concept or as a definition or as a deity, or even as a feeling, or binding is primarily a Belief !
Hope and belief can do wonders, as they energise the "vitality" in any human being, which gives him the courage to fight and survive. Earlier the "Gods" were based on the basic elements like earth,water,sun,air etc. thts because human brain understood his lack of control over them. Anything more powerful than you is always feared and hence pleased for securing better survival. Nature teaches us a thumb rule , Survival of fittest !
But even a fit person can be drowned, or struck by lightening, which means is helpless in front of something intangible !
Now when such a fit/powerful person realises his lack of strength, he tries to decieve others under his protection so that they wont leave him ! ...He tells them that even though he is powerless in front of such natural powers, he has a way of communication to reach them, and he calls them "Gods" ...!
Religion, mythology, "Veds" etc actually try and make ppl realise that they shudnt let their ego overcome themselves as there is sum1 above you who is looking after the weak and feeble. This creates an insecurity in the minds of so called "devilish" ppl , and evokes their "SadaSat Vivek Buddhi" or "Rational thinking " which eventually prevents them from commiting sins !!
Every religion has their own ideas abt heaven and hell , but 3 basic things are common to them all :
1] God is someone bigger than humans and controls the whole universe as he himself as created it !
2] Heaven is for souls who have done more good things and hell is for sinners
3] God is intangible, can not be comprehended unless you believe in him strongly, and do all the duties he has told upon us. He reviews all souls after they die or periodically.
If you see all these three points, they all ensure that the "mystery" about god is well kept !!Secondly, all da 3 statements provide security, assurance, and hope for ppl who are powerful, who are powerless, who have some power ...poor and rich ...dumb and deaf...healthy and sick...living and about die ....! Find a single person who wouldnt feel secured and relieved after believing in these 3 statements?
The basic purpose of God whther for real or as a concept is to provide security,hope for humans who dnt want to face everything for themselves.Then why not fate ? ...because fate is non reliable. Luck is non reliable but someone who is incharge of well being of human kind? ....yea sure, he will protect us all !!
So atheism discards the dependance on any concept and accept the fact that we came here alone and will have to survive on their own ...but that doesnt mean Atheists are non-believers !
...we believe in coincidence, luck, fate, and on ourselves.
Theist ppl on the other hand, believe in God first and then all the other things as per their choice ...
Belief is good till the point it is kept to tht level ...when it becomes worshiping ...its unhealthy ! When ppl start depending on god for their decisions, their thinking, then its not what is desired by the religion or mythology who started it all.
Believe in whatever you want but keep it to a level where the belief powers your thoughts and deeds and not dependancy !
