To the one who believes in god no proof is necessary..to the one who doesn't none is possible!
Why should I believe in God? In fact, how should I believe in God? When people kill each other to decide whose god is better, it makes me not believe in God!
When God becomes more important than life, it makes me not believe in God! When all you need is somebody to guard you when you are scared, somebody to be afraid of when you do wrong, somebody to plead when you want something real bad, somebody to blame when things go wrong, somebody to fight for, when you have nothing to do, you call for god! and here is the difference- I don't.
I also believe that people are just following a trend or a long-drawn tradition of believing in god. Not many dare to question this tradition. And most of them are too lazy to think. Well, I am not. I think and I have no reason to believe in god. Honestly, I am not an escapist. I don't want things done for me, or I don't need someone to be blamed on for mistakes that I do. I did wrong- I suffer. Plain fact!
Whenever I asked him about the existence of God, he gave me this reply: “You may believe in him when you feel like it.” is a phrase from Bhagat Singh's article Why I am an atheist and I believe in this line. I believe when people have no other way out, they look for god.
Man can find a strong support in God and an encouraging consolation in His Name. ( excerpt from Why I am an Atheist). I agree! According to me, the existence of god is a facade created by weak people who need to fear someone or be answerable to. For me, no blind faith. I can't even pretend to believe in god. I haven't visited a temple and prayed in ages now. I go to temples as I am forced to. It also avoids a whole lot of talking and explanations.
People think I don't believe in God as I am very stubborn and proud. Well, I am not. I have read about God and his existence more than any theist on this earth. Probably that is the main reason why I don't believe in God. By reading I have done nothing but strengthened my beliefs and it has given me enough logic and support to form a basis for my belief. Also,when you study science, at length, you tend to not believe in God and things like miracle of life and creation of Universe. Its all science. Facts and explanations.
I don't want anyone to understand me or my beliefs much less believe in it as I feel that is another weakness that we humans are bestowed with. We get drifted and driven easily. And I respect people who have faith and belief. No matter what you believe in , make sure you have a firm basis.
