Why God

I am a determined atheist for my researches and first-hand experiences in spirituality and religions dealing in the concept of God. I preach atheism to others coming in my contact. But at times, I too feel there were a God existing somewhere and doing his job. Here, I narrate some such situations.

Helplessness

When I find myself in a tight spot with unscrupulous elements in the society harming me with my inability to take revenge or punishing them for their misdeeds, many popular concepts like those of God, fate, Karma, etc come to my mind with a wish of real materialization of these concepts so that the unscrupulous elements get perished under burdens of their misdeeds.

My life, now-a-days, is mine only when I am online, with all the rest being superfluous to me. For this, I have a broadband connectivity from a government of India undertaking, BSNL (M/s Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) which remains often out of order with no official doing anything about attending the problems except directing temporarily employed unskilled and untrained laborers to attend to the problems. As a result, even a minor problem takes weeks for resolution. Under such a circumstance, I really with that there were a God to punish these high-salaried, high-profile officials of government undertakings without any sense of their responsibilities and duties.

Miracles and Ignorance

All miracles are considered to be of Divine origin, while in fact, these are products of human ignorance. The ocean of knowledge is infinite and can’t be commanded by any person, putting humans under shades of ignorance to differing degrees with respect to each other. This ignorance gives rise to miracles of different kinds to different persons. This is the greatest cause of existence of concept of God.

When a person realizes the vastness of knowledge and limitations of individual human mind and exposures, all miracles disappear giving rise to curiosity to understand the secret behind the miracles. Whole of human progress and evolution of human intellect are products of this curiosity to unfold secrets of miracles.


Persons with not recognizing this limitation of humans against vastness of knowledge, consider every phenomenon unknown to them as a Divine miracle with no curiosity to unfold the secret. Thus, these persons are stumbling blocks of human progress and its intellectual evolution.

Fear of the unknown

Future is always a dark horse for everybody while it is also a great concern to everybody. This creates a fear psychosis in a great majority of persons. To circumvent this fear, people need some support. This support was provided to them in the name of God and people agreed to this phantom. They were further terrorized by anger of God if He was not remembered and prayed by anybody. This terror further strengthened the fake existence of God in human minds.
