WHY I DO NOT BELIEVE IN A GOD

                                WHY I DO NOT BELIEVE IN A GOD

My earlier posts on god and religion have shown my mistrust on there being a god or not believing in it. Well I have my reasons for not believing or hating a god and it is not something that I do to stand out. Well this time I am going to give you my reasons.

Firstly, the image that has been created of it makes it seem like a big egomaniac. The image of it according to me is such that he needs to be constantly be praised for being our creator or in order for it to do something good for us. This makes me think that he created us just to have someone stroke his ego. Some might say that it is us who do this and God never asked anything from us. Then why do we think that praying to him would do us any good if he does not have an ego. He would always remain impartial and we do not have to constantly plead to him. This creates a contradiction of sorts on what it truly wants and is.

Secondly, it is said that he is impartial and just for all but in reality it does not stand true. God is projected as it can do anything but it only happens when someone tries a lot to please him. To exemplify, in Ramayana the main antagonist Ravaan got his powers by kissing Shiva’s ass by doing tapasya. Therefore, it further proves that it is a big egomaniac. In addition, it can also be said that he also discriminates when it comes to males and females. He is the creator then he also created people that rape or participate in female infanticide or have such vile nature. If he is the almighty, he could have done something to stop these incidents from happening and could have intervened in some way. But he only intervenes when there has to be a battle to be fought, according to mythologies and since such battles do not happen anymore he just sits back and watch people get ruined and enjoys seeing us struggle. It makes it seem like a sadist to me who enjoys seeing others in pain. He not only enjoys seeing human beings struggle but also other living beings. If he really was almighty, he could have created a world with harmony but as we can see he did not do it.

Thirdly, it is the people that make me believe there is no god.  People have stood god on such a pedestal that it makes it impossible for me to believe in it. They have actually make him like a superhero. It actually holds true as god came to be from stories that are no just comic books. In addition, the idea of god might have been created to explain things that earlier we could not explain and the idea turned out to be so lucrative that we following it blindly ever since. Therefore, people kept churning out one god after another by making various stories and gullible people believed in them and passed down the generations. Also people can never accept that they are masters of their own fate and need some reassurance that there might be someone who could help them out.

Last and the most important reason is my sister. My sister is a special child or mentally disabled or whatever word it might suit you. I see her everyday and it pains me to think that a God would let a child go through such difficulties. In addition, it is not only her but also my parents that go through the struggle every day.  If he truly was impartial, he would have created everyone to be equal but it is not the case. In addition, it is not just my sister but children like her who go through such anguish everyday and not to be able to live a “normal” life. It makes me think that he rather enjoys seeing people suffer or there is god there.

I never wish to change anyone by writing this post but I just wanted people to know my viewpoint and at least become a little less gullible.
